You don't know about the game? Okay, there was something called the game. Every time you thought about the game, you lost. You couldn't win the game. You could only lose. And you had to announce your loss. Consent wasn't required to play. But there were two ways for the game to end: Either the British prime minister had to announce on public television that "the game was up," or somebody had to steal the pope's hat. And a little girl stole the pope's hat, so it's over now. :)

Actually, it's been over since March.

That sounds pretty cool to me :). So how did this game start?

I don't think anyone knows for sure. Here's the Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)

That article doesn't say anything about the pope's hat, but other sources state that the game ends if somebody steals or knocks off the pope's hat. Losing the game actually really annoys a lot of people. Some people even insisted that they weren't playing. But the game is over now.

This game just sounds like a way to unnecessarily draw peoples attention away from life.I can see why sticklers, stressed types, or people who are easily distracted would get annoyed by the this. Regardless, I'm just glad it's over so that people can have some mental peace.

Here are my explanantions of the whole thing to consider:

So this game is designed to distract people. The way I see it, you don't loose if you think about it, but rather you loose by convincing yourself that you are playing by it's rules. I might say you win if you ignore it and get on with life, but that would be playing by it's rules, so you would still loose because you are playing. The secret to winning this game is breaking it's rules. Therefore, the game is not over because the win conditions were met, thereby constituting the ultimate loss. The game is still very active and any who thinks it is over has now truly lost to the games creator. If you want to win, you gotta cheat ;). It never said cheating was against the rules, but perhaps that's a trap that also constitutes a loss because considering the rules implies that you are playing, thus defeat again. Therefore if you wanna beet the game, you gotta simply forget about it or ignore it all together. However, it's clear to me now that this game is not about winning or loosing XD. It's about distraction and focus. It's a lesson. A lesson cleverly designed to show us the importance of focus and finding the right questions to ask ;). Life isn't always about answers you know ;).

Lol, I tried XD. Anyway, back to studying for my test.

You know this game could also be alluding to the pope or British prime minister. I heard the pope has some funny mark on his head or eye or something that has some kind of significance.

Maybe that's the path to a win for the game XD.

I'll stop talking now, lol. I'm rambling.

That's not how it works... Not being able to win the game is a rule that everyone agrees on...

Oh, i know that game! Everyone plays it in the orchestra i am in! :D But the rules are slightly different. The US president has to say that the game is over :P And there is no pope version :confused:
