Lesson 9HW Game #14

[moshei24]

This is a really quick question.

When I was doing the game, I figured that it would be possible for none of them to participate in one of the activities, because it never strictly stated that all of the activities need to be participated in.

Looking at it now, I see that the rules imply that all three need to be participated in because P, O, and N all need to be in separate activities, but if that inference wasn't there, would it have been possible for one of the activities to have had no participants? Does that type of situation ever happen in a game?

Thank you!

You're correct on both counts: the game doesn't specify that each activity must have a participant, but the first rule that separates N, O, and P from one another means that all three activities have at least one person involved .

And yes, it would certainly be possible for there to be a "none" type of group/activity in a game. So a good thing of which to be mindful.
