Another Version
Another version is titled "The Prince of Paris" and is played with all the people in a line (about 15-20). They are numbered from the beginning of the line on down. The conversation goes:
- Leader: The Prince of Paris has lost his hat and number X knows where it's at!
- Number X: Who sir, me sir?
- L: Yes Sir, you sir!
- N: No not I, sir!
- L: Then who sir?
- N: Number Y knows where it's at!
- L: Number Y sir, I've got you sir!
If number Y does not respond with "Who sir me sir?" before the leader finishes his last line, number Y moves to the end of the line. It is up to the individuals to keep up with their changing numbers and therefore fast paced play is encouraged. Also, you cannot reply with the previous number. Therefore if number 7 says number 13 then number 13 cannot say number 7, and likewise who ever number 13 says, cannot say number 13 but they could say number 7.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
