Brain Roulette

    by: Unknown
"Let's play Brain Roulette", you offer but your siblings look at you puzzled.

"How's it going to work?", Jordan asks you.

Not sure of the rules yourself as it was the first thing that popped into your mind you improvise the rules. "It's simple we each cut out our brains and put it on the lazy Susan and spin it around a couple of times then grab a brain and put it in our head".

Jordan agrees with the idea straight away and Beck looks a little unsure but it is Jess that points out a flaw. "That's not random enough, for example if my brain is next to yours then whoever ends up with my body the person next to me gets yours".

You realize Jess has a point, even though you might all end up in different bodies anyway. "Fine then we'll put our brains on the table cut our heads off face away from the table and pick a brain blind".

Again Jess points out a flaw. "But what if no one gets their original body and doing that severs our connection to our bodies, then we will all just be heads".

You're starting to get annoyed at Jess pointing out flaws in your plan. "Fine... we'll put our brains in an empty potato sack, shake it up and pull out one brain, put it on the table everyone takes three steps back and then rush for the brain then repeat until everyone has a body".

This time Beck speaks up. "Two things bad with that idea, first is we risk damaging our brains and second if the last person doesn't get their body then they will be vulnerable for the others to mess with".

You think that is a great idea but realize you have a chance to be the last body and don't want to be put in that position. "Okay... we'll put our brains in the sack, shake it, pull them out, place them on the lazy Susan and then spin.... happy now?", you offer getting annoyed at the interruptions.

Once again though Jess speaks up. "Okay if that's how we're going to do it then lets make it more exciting. A one in four chance of getting your on body is boring".

"What do you have in mind?", you ask curiously.

"We can do one of two things", Jess says. "We can either call our friends over and decrease the chance of getting our own body and we are also less likely to each other. Though for that to work we'll have to dispose of mum as there is no way she'll let us do this. Or we go with just the four of us but after the game is over we return the rapier, making the swap permanent".

After a bit more of a discussion you pick.....

You have the following choices:

1. To have more people

2. Make the swap permanent
