has lost his thinking cap. Some say this, and some say that, but I say it was X. 1. 2. 3. Down." Person X has to respond before the priest reaches "down" or they go to the dogbox. Likewise, anyone who responds incorrectly, or out of turn, also goes to the dogbox. The correct response refrain goes like this: X: "Who me sir?" P: "Yes, you sir!" X: "Nay, not I sir." P: "Then who sir?" X: "I say it was Y. 1. 2. 3. Down." Whereupon the refrain is repeated between X and Y, with player Y attempting to get out player Z at the end. This is repeated indefinitely until someone makes a mistake and goes to the dogbox. The challenges in this version of the game are remembering who you are (it might change every time someone goes to the dogbox) and answering quickly enough. There's considerable scope for strategy, particularly in moving the priest to the dogbox. To help new players, the chairs are sometimes labelled with their correct "number", although this does remove some of the fun that comes from complete confusion. The Prince of Paris Another version is titled "The Prince of Paris" and is played with all the people in a line (about 15–20). They are numbered from the beginning of the line on down. The conversation goes: Leader: The Prince of Paris has lost his hat and number X knows where it's at! Number X: Who sir, me sir? L: Yes Sir, you sir! N: No not I, sir! L: Then who sir? N: Number Y knows where it's at! L: Number Y sir, I've got you sir! If number Y does not respond with "Who sir me sir?" before the leader finishes his last line, number Y moves to the end of the line. It is up to the individuals to keep up with their changing numbers and therefore fast-paced play is encouraged. Also, you cannot reply with the previous number. Therefore, if number 7 says number 13 then number 13 cannot say number 7, and likewise who ever number 13 says, cannot say number 13 but they could say number 7. Named chairs Accusations and denials fly around the room in an orderly patterned sequence as to who may have taken the hat. Each respondent must reply within the count of 5: Leader: "The priest of the parish has lost
