**MindGames Game I: "Who played it more?"**

You wake up locked in a dungeon. Your jailor, a weaselish creature whose devilish wit is only matched by his devilish handsomeness, offers you your freedom. You must simply answer 2 questions correctly to escape. However – there is a catch. Either you all escape, or none of you do.

Together, you must choose which person answers each question. You must guess who played each game more.
