Follow on from the last post - from i-spy to 'guess what number I'm thinking of'. It didn't take long for rules to appear, such as say 'higher' or 'lower' or we'll not guess before we get there! Randomly guessing a number was fun, so long as it was definately between 1 and 10. any higher just took too long...
Anyway, once established, we tried to guess numbers in as few guesses as possible (over a few days, admittedly). We got quite good at this (NB with R, it's normally 99). So much so, we'd guessed in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 but not 6. Ok, I said - one more go. 'I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100'.
They got it right on the 6th guess. AMAZING! The things you'll do as a mother for a bit of peace...
