they must do so—tends to mean that different people participate in each scramble, and most players participate in frequent scrambles and get turns of becoming "it." The game is very stable in the sense that it is not spoiled even if "it" deliberately chooses categories that contain a single selected person. (When this happens, the usual outcome is that "it" successfully grabs the selected person's seat while the selected person becomes "it"). Indeed, the balance of frustration and reward is so even that nobody is ever sure whether having "the big wind blow" for a single person is an expression of rivalry or of affection. The game combines the physical elements of the scramble with the mental requirements of alertness, logic, and reasoning in the construction of the categories. Groups of children, even children of mixed age and agility, can play this game for long periods of time without becoming frustrated or angry.
