They weren't playing the game right. The way to correctly play the game, especially among siblings, is for a person to always pick the same song. For example, if I'm tapping, I'm tapping 'Jingle Bells'. And we have a near 100% success rate. (It is not quite 100% due to the initial learning curve, but the success rate then steadily improves over time.)
That said... I'm tapping a tune as I type on this keyboard. Can you guess it??
Have you ever played the "Shadow of the Washington Monument" game?
It's played almost like 20 questions, except that it only takes one question if the game is played right.
OK, let's play: I'm thinking of a person, place or thing. Can you guess who, where, or what it is, by having me answer your yes or no questions? The goal is to guess it with as few questions asked as possible.
Ha ha, OK.
Nevertheless I get one question. Can you guess what I'll ask?
It appears I don't have to guess. ;-)
Huh. I was going to ask, 'Is it bigger than a breadbox?'.
Google predicts I would have asked, 'Animal, mineral or vegetable?'
Is it underneath the Washington Monument?
