The Wisdom of Crowds?

15 07 2008

Happy News from Norf Lahnden.  It’s been reported on the Arsenal website that 1300 children at Emirates Stadium just raised over £100,000 for charity by breaking the World Record for a game of Chinese Whispers – that game where you pass a message along a line of people and see how much it can change through tiny misunderstandings.

…the Chinese Whisper started with the message ‘Together we will make a world of difference’  highlighting to the children that by working together they can help others lead happier, healthier lives… after 500 children it was recorded as ‘Everyone is evil’. By the time the message reached the last child, it had changed dramatically and was read out as simply; ‘Haaaaa’.

I think this says it all, really.
