A bunch of my Boy Scout friends and I play this with newcomers. You basically have to figure out if something’s a rose or not. Here’s an example: If a rose is a rose, is it a rose? (Correct answer is no). Listen, if that’s not a rose, and a rose is a rose, is a rose a rose? Yes it is. Have fun driving yourselves crazy trying to figure out what makes it a rose. Anything could be an example. (Is my yoyo a rose? No). Try it 😛 ---

A rose may be a rose, but it is not a rose. > [@someone](#): > > Listen, if that’s not a rose, and a rose is a rose, is a rose a rose? Yes it is. a rose is a rose because a rose is a rose. how about this: It is always that, that is always a rose, and a rose is always that; however, that is not always it. 1. Is it a rose? 2. Is that a rose? 3. Is a rose it? I think I know the answers. ---
