Mind Reader Game
Build the circuit below. It uses a paper clip and a
3-Snap Wire as “shorting bars”.
Setup: Player 1 sets the target by placing the
3-snap shorting bar under the paper on column
2, 3 or 4. Player 2 must NOT know where the
shorting bar is located under the paper.
The object is for Player 2 to guess the location by
placing one end of the paper clip on the 5-snap
wire as shown, and the other end of the paper clip
at positions X, Y, or Z and then pressing the press
switch (S2). If Player 2 places the paper clip at
the correct position, the sounds played indicates
a “hit”. He keeps guessing until he hits. After each
hit, remove the 3-snap shorting bar and slide the
switch off and on to reset the sound.
Player 2 then sets the 2, 3, 4 side and player 1
tries his luck.
Play multiple rounds and see who gets the best
overall score. The winner will be the player who is
best at reading his opponent’s mind.
