Well it's slightly related, but there is 'broken telephone' which is a game where the initial message becomes very mangled the more people that repeat the message to each other. Lookup 'chinese whispers' too.
Maybe this is like a reverse broken telephone where the end message becomes better than the initial input?
- PaulHoule 5y agoYou can certainly improve a story by telling it over and over again. I homeschooled my son in math: somehow he was totally impervious to algebra but turned out to have more aptitude for (at least some kinds of) mental arithmetic than me so I had to learn to get better at it to pick up the pace. From doing that I learned a bag of tricks for computing square roots (and some other math tricks) that I have well practiced for certain cases (particularly if I pick the number) For instance there are two easy ways to calculate the square root of 50, either based on 50 = 2 * 5^2 or 50 = 7^2 + 1. I can make up easy cases like that and solve them and people will complain about how unfair it is.
