Day 167: A long 60 seconds
It’s Games and Puzzles Day!
Today’s Activity: Play Just a Minute.
The classic British radio game show — chaired by Nicholas Parsons for more than half a century! — is easy to replicate at home. All you need is some friends and a stopwatch.
The rules are simple: when it’s your turn, talk about the given subject for 60 seconds, with no deviation, hesitation or repetition. It’s the responsibility of the other players to catch you when you break one of the rules, and if their challenge is successful it’s up to the next player to finish the remaining seconds. Points are awarded for being the one still talking when the buzzer sounds, or for a successful challenge.
Sounds simple, but it’s a lot harder than you’d expect! Managing a full 60 seconds solo is very rare. But here are some pro tips to help you beat your friends at the game.
