Person H may have the upper hand, Person H has the ability to allow Person I to stay in the game, but Person J would be almost certainly be out regardless.
It almost comes across as some sort of 'Game Theory' variant.
Actually, Person J could survive.
Person H: 18
Person I: 19
Person J: 20
Then Person K would be out. Basically, apologies if I didn't explain this part, you can say any number of your given 3 numbers.
It is a very tactically thinking game, I reckon that is what I like about it. The tension that comes about when we get past 12, it's going to be one of the next 10 people in the direction of the circle who end up being out.
I must admit I love playing it, as do most people, but it is somewhat ruined by this group who choose to get people out who they dislike. Even if that is the point of the game, to think tactically...it does get tedious with the same people winning each week.
