ABSTRACT

As kids, we were playing a game called ‘Hit the pot’ where a pot was placed somewhere on the fl oor in a room by one child. The challenge for another child was to search for the pot, while crawling on the fl oor, making knocking movements using a wooden spoon. A tinny sound indicated when the pot was hit. Not a very challenging game, you may argue, because one instantly sees where the pot was placed. However, you miss the important information, that the kid who was searching for the pot was blindfolded.
