1 - At the end of the game, each team member will get to eat all the almonds that he or she has amassed.

2 - Each team member needs to take at least one almond per round to be sustained.

3 - At the end of each round, the resource will be replenished by one-half of its existing amount.

Sounds like an exercise to demonstrate the tragedy of the commons (see Rule 3) to me.

perhaps thats some sort of game you play on long airline flights? y'know, cuz of all the almonds?

dr. frank, if you ever listen to me, listen now. go to www.foundmagazine.com look around and find a place that sells their magazine and go buy one!!! it is a diy type zine with great content. there are just 3 issues so far and i have all 3, but anyway the concept is that everyone from all corners of the globe sends anything they find on the streets to this guy and he prints it all into a magazine. some of the things in there are priceless!! send in your find, if not just check out the mag. it is really entertaining.

your pal, luke black

You're a jerk...A real knee biter.

Yeah, we know he's an asshole and he does it on purpose, so to call him out on it only encourages him. Just ignore him and hopfully he'll go away, Amy80.

Actually, the only reason I posted it is because it's a Hitchhikers reference. But, thanks for the support anyway.
