2T1L: Detect my lie
Which of the following is not true of Dr. Kidd I got married on Friday the 13th wearing 5
inch heels I was accused of drug possession, taken off
a train and strip searchedThere is a goat in Haifa, Israel named after
me “Ferry” pronounced “Furry”
2 truths and 1 lie
Think of three things about yourself: two that are true and one that is a lie
In a group of 3: Introduce yourself with your 2Ts and 1L. See if your classmates can detect the lie.
Afterwards: One of you will introduce us to your group including one thing about each of you – one of which is a lie. We’ll try to guess which.
