Rules of The Game of Minority Decision
Please answer all the yes/no questions. If you answer question 1 with the minority you will survive and advance to question 2. So the people in the majority will drop out and the minorities are the winners.
Next we count the answers to question 2 for the surviving players (the minority from question 1), and the minority survives again.
If there is an even number of "yes" and "no" answers all remaining players survive the question. And so on, till the last question. In this manner the most ECCENTRIC person will become the winner of the game!
