One player leaves the room while the others decide on a proverb. When he returns, he has to guess the proverb chosen by the other players. He does this by asking each of them in turn a question, which may be about any subject. The first answer must contain the first word of the proverb, the second answer must contain the second word, and so on. When all the words of the proverb have been used, the players begin again with the first word.
