Before anything begins, a single prediction is placed in full view. It stays there. No touching. No funny business.

You explain that tonight isn’t about cards or numbers.
It’s about a proper night out with your mates.

Four beer mats are introduced, each from a different pub. They’re openly shown and casually examined.
Each mat displays:

• The pub name

• Four drink options:

  • Beers

  • Cocktails

  • Spirits

  • Shots

Every drink has a different price. Nothing matches. No patterns. No sneaky duplicates.

Four spectators are invited up.
Each takes one beer mat and, without influence, chooses a drink.

One becomes the Beer drinker.
One the Cocktail connoisseur.
One the Spirit specialist.
One the Shot hero.

The prices are added together, building the cost of what is clearly shaping up to be a dangerous but unforgettable night.

Finally, attention returns to the prediction that’s been waiting patiently since the start.

It’s opened.

The total matches exactly.

Not close.
Not “near enough after a few pints.”
A perfect match.

A night out predicted before the first drink was ordered.
