SILVERWARE-NUMBER GAME

KNIVES, FORKS, AND SPOONS ARE ARRANGED IN WHAT LOOKS
TO BE A PATTERN OF SOME SORT. PARTICIPANTS TRY TO
GUESS WHAT NUMBER FROM ZERO TO TEN THE ARRANGEMENT
IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THE KNIVES, FORKS, AND SPOONS,
HOWEVER, DO NOT REPRESENT ANY NUMBER. THE TRICKSTER
ACTUALLY HAS A CERTAIN NUMBER OR NO NUMBER OF HIS
FINGERS SHOWING ON THE TABLE.

Submitter comment: A BIOLOGY NUN PLAYED THE GAME ON US. SHE FOUND IT
VERY AMUSING.

Where learned: MICHIGAN ; ALLEN PARK

Subject headings: CUSTOM FESTIVAL -- Entertainment Diversion
