Day 16

1. I was sent yestreen which is a Scottish word meaning "last evening or night."

2. I sent ripostes which means "a fencer's quick return thrust following a parry."

3. It took us 55 minutes to send all of the messages, it took me maybe 5 minutes less to finish.

4. I thought it was easier to send because even if you messed up the message you still sent something. When you were receiving you had to be really careful that you wrote down the right thing.

5. It got difficult when several people were trying to send at once and would try after every person. At times everyone would get into a rhythm and it would work for a few messages but then someone would get off and mess it all up.

6. The process would be a lot easier if you could come up with some sort of pattern that did not result in a loop. If every person was given a number and went in that order it might work better, though some people would be stuck going last every time.
