Famous Numbers

Write as many numbers as you desire on slips of paper, fold each and put them in a dish. When passed each player takes one but must not look at the number, each one in turn calls off his number and immediately names as many famous objects or people as the number calls for, one person keeps tally of how many numbers each answer correctly. Those that answer incorrectly pay a forfeit. If the company is not too large the number may be distributed four or five times. For example: A is called first, he looks at his number, and says I have drawn the famous number 9. I think the nine Muses are famous. B says I have drawn the famous number 4. Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring are a famous four. Csays I have drawn the famous number 2. Our two greatest generals, Washington and Grant. And so the play continues until all the numbers are drawn. The following are appropriate answers. No. 12-The 12 months, or the 12 Cæsars. No. 5.-The five senses are very famous. Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Tasting and Touching. No. 1-Shakespeare, the one most famous, No. 4-Earth, Air, Fire and Water, are the most famous in power. No. 8-An octave in music, the most famous eight I know of; this answer not correct will have to pay a forfeit.
