Examples of competitions
Show
So, the guests have arrived and it’s time for the table. This game can be played as a holiday invitation. Line up all the guests opposite the table and announce in a formal voice: “The following have arrived for the dinner party: Princess of the East Budur, Cinderella, show business stars: Justin Bieber, Madonna, the President of Great Britain, the world boxing champion, and the baby who was born today. Guests need to get into character and sit at the table in character.
Try it, get it!
To play, you need to make 5-6 simple paper airplanes and take a basket. Place about 20 paper “bombs” (crumpled lumps of paper) into a basket. The participant launches the airplanes, and the rest try to shoot down the flying airplane. You can make this game a competition, and give several attempts to everyone to determine the winner.
Drawing 3D
Keeping up with the times, such a master class can be relevant and modern. It’s interesting that everyone always gets this kind of drawing. For work you will need A4 sheets (landscape), simple pencils and felt-tip pens.
Let's get started. Place your palm, left or right (whichever is convenient for you), and trace it with a simple pencil. Take a felt-tip pen of any color, draw parallel lines, the distance between the lines is approximately 1 cm. From the edge of the sheet, a straight line, and where the outline of the hand begins, draw an arc. After the outline of the hand, draw a straight line again. Using other colors of markers, follow the curves of the first lines. Your drawing is ready! Really great!
You can celebrate your thirteenth birthday with enthusiasm. A competition will help with this
"Take yours."
Before the game, one of the adults asks each guest for a personal item, be it a brooch, keys, an elastic band, etc. It is better to ask for things in secret so that others do not see what they took from their neighbor. Place all taken items in a box.
So, let's choose a leader. Blindfold the participant and ask him to take the first thing he comes across from the box. To return an item to its rightful owner, the presenter makes a wish, which the owner must fulfill. The game is fun.
Fashion show
And finally, you invite guests to the table. This moment can also be played out interestingly. You line up the children against the opposite wall and solemnly announce: “Baba Yaga, a famous yogi, an oriental dancer, a one-legged pirate, an ogre, a ballerina, the President of Russia, a bodybuilding champion, a supermodel, and a child who learned to walk today are invited to our name day.” There is no need to warn guests about the role in advance. Everyone, in accordance with the role they have received, must parade to the table in character and take their place.
Game “I’ll tell you a secret”
An interesting entertainment for which you need to prepare a little - “I’ll tell you a secret.” What is the essence of the game? Everything is very simple - each of the guests draws cards from a hat with a funny text in verse prepared in advance (you will have to try hard here). All cards begin with the words “I’ll tell you a secret,” and then there are possible options, for example:
- I’ll tell you a secret that I don’t wear underwear, if you doubt it, I’ll show you now;
- I’ll tell you a secret, I’m on a diet, I only eat grass, I don’t look at cutlets.
If you choose active competitions, such as the best dance or running around chairs, make sure that there is enough space around so that people of all sizes feel comfortable.
Do you prefer competitions for a small company? It happens that you need competitions for parties, but you definitely won’t have too big a group, try to play something intimate and not require a large number of people. These could be text games and competitions for a small company, or verbal ones, for example:
- Burim;
- writing a fairy tale line by line;
- forfeits.
Still artist
Several teams can participate in the game. Two participants are asked to take a felt-tip pen. Next, the presenter asks the artists to freeze in place and not move, holding a felt-tip pen in their outstretched hand.
Two other participants approach the first with a sheet of paper attached to a hard surface and begin to move the sheet of paper over an elongated felt-tip pen to make a drawing. You can choose something light: a house with a tree, a self-portrait of the birthday boy or an animal.
The game is fun and causes a lot of laughter as the image appears on paper. Try it, you will like it.
Table competitions
Obviously, you can’t be “active” forever. Sooner or later at any event there comes a time when everyone has eaten and drunk - then it’s time for table games. They do not require any special training.
Make me laugh!
A very popular table entertainment.
One half of the table is the first team, the other half, respectively, is their opponents. In the first round, each guest of the first team tries with all his might to make the opponent opposite laugh. To do this, you can use jokes, pantomimes - everything except physical influence on your opponent. Then the number of those who made them laugh is counted.
In the second round, the participants change roles - now those who were just made laugh try to make their opponent laugh.
The winner is the team that makes the most people laugh at the end of the competition.
Is Miss Mumble at home?
The guests are seated in a circle. The game starts with a randomly selected participant. He asks his neighbor: “Excuse me, is Miss Mumble at home?” He must answer: “I don’t know, but maybe my neighbor will tell you,” and then he himself asks the neighbor if he saw her according to the same rules. The game is a knockout game. Those who start laughing are eliminated.
Bandmaster
Table competitions can be extremely fun. Proof of this is “Kapellmeister”.
The presenter plays a well-known song and everyone sings it. When the leader raises his hand, everyone must stop singing. Anyone who violates the bandmaster's instructions is eliminated from the game. The last one standing wins.
It is advisable to raise your hand very quickly and also confuse the participants.
Oars
Participants sit at a table, in the center of which there are spoons - one less than the number of participants.
Cards of all suits of the same value are selected from a deck of cards according to the number of players. So, if there are 3 people playing, you need to take all the “twos,” “threes,” and “fours.” The cards are shuffled, and everyone is given 4. The participants’ task is to collect 4 cards of the same value.
Guests must quickly determine which card they do not need and after 3 seconds, at the command “Stop!” put it on the table. Next, the discarded cards are shifted clockwise and the participants sort them out. The game continues until one of the participants shouts “Oars!”, having collected a set of cards. At this command, everyone quickly takes the spoons apart. The one who doesn't get it is eliminated.
The game starts again.

Active competitions
Top clap
Place printed (or drawn) “prints” of hand and feet on the floor, three in one row. For example, two feet + one palm; two palms + one foot; you also need to change directions in the rows (in the first, the feet “look”, for example, to the right, and in the next to the left. Make at least 10 such rows. The task is to quickly jump along the rows, placing your palms and feet exactly as in the pictures. Feet on feet, palms on palms. The winner is the one who completed the track without mistakes.
Children love this fun competition. After choosing a winner, you can continue playing until you get tired of it.
Try deflating the balloon
Place an inflated balloon on the edge of the table. The selected player is blindfolded and placed with his back to the ball. Afterwards, he needs to take five steps forward from the table and turn around himself three times. Now the player’s task is to return to the place where the ball lies and try to blow it away. But most likely he will not be able to do this right away, because with his eyes closed the player will go astray and will blow where the ball is not. From the outside it looks funny. The audience will have fun.
While the ball is in the air
Give each participant (pair) some kind of container (bucket/bag/basin). Place the same number of any items (toys, oranges, candies, etc.) next to each participant’s container. The participants' task is to collect all the objects scattered nearby into a bucket/bag, while constantly tossing their balloon so that it does not touch the floor. The one who can do it faster without dropping the ball wins.
Who is faster
Place a target (for example, a prize apple) at a certain distance from the participants. Give each participant two sheets of paper (A4 or newspaper can be used). The task is to get to the goal before your opponent, walking only on pieces of paper. You need to stand on the first sheet with both feet, and move the sheet that is behind you forward and step over it, and move the empty sheet forward again. So until the end.
Awesome glass
Place the same number of disposable cups in a row in front of each participant and give out one uninflated balloon. The task is to inflate the balloon and, using the air coming out of the balloon, knock down all the cups. You will have to inflate and deflate the balloon several times. The fastest one will win.
Ball in a glass
Place the same number of disposable cups in a row in front of each participant (the more, the better) and give out one uninflated balloon. The task is to inflate the ball directly in the glass (until the ball fills the glass), thus lift the glass and lower it into another empty glass. So you need to collect all the cups into one without using your hands. Whoever is faster wins.
If the competition is held for teams, then the first participant collects all the cups, and the second puts them back (also using a ball to pull out the cups from one another). The third one collects again, etc. The team that completes it faster will win.
Pop if you can
Another contest with balloons. You will need a large space. You need to tie an inflated balloon to the foot of each participant. Everyone disperses around the hall. As soon as the music turns on, everyone starts trying to burst the other participants' balloons, but keep theirs. The one who remains last with an inflated balloon wins.
Knock down the pinata
You can prepare a piñata - a cardboard figurine of the main character of the holiday, decorated with paper, and at the end of the party, arrange a grandiose fun battle. You can make your own piñata, order it, or buy it ready-made.
Ball race
Participants are divided into two teams. Each team is given 3-4 (depending on age) balloons. The first team member takes all three balls and runs with them to the end point and returns back, passing the balls to the next member of his team. Holding three balls at once (without a thread) is not easy. If the ball falls, you need to pick it up. The team that completes the relay the fastest wins.
Prohibited action
Participants stand in a circle or in a line. The presenter takes one step forward so that he can be seen. It is discussed in advance what action cannot be repeated, for example, “touching the ears.” The presenter gives the players the task that everyone must repeat the movements after him, except for those forbidden. The music turns on. The leader begins to make movements once, and all participants repeat them. At some point the driver does a prohibited action. Those participants who repeated after him leave the game. The game continues until the last participant. The prohibited action can be changed after each stop to confuse players.
Song and dance battles
A great idea is to use different song and dance marathons. The secret to the success of these marathons is popular music and interesting movements. You can also create obstacles and make it difficult to complete tasks in every possible way. For example, we dance without lifting our feet from the floor and our hands from our knees. And in general, you never know what the intricate human mind can come up with.
Dancing under a mop
You will need a mop or any other stick of similar length and your favorite dance tunes. Hold the stick horizontally to the floor, approximately at chest level with the children. The players line up one after another and take turns dancing under the pole, bending their backs. You must not touch the stick or fall (touch the floor with your knees or hands). Anyone who violates the conditions is eliminated.
Please note: players can only lean backward (not forward) when passing under the stick. After everyone has completed one attempt, the stick should be lowered approximately 10 cm lower and the approach should be repeated for all participants who did not drop out of the competition. The last player to dance is the winner.
Hunting
The names of all guests are written down on pieces of paper and then distributed among the players. What is written on the piece of paper does not need to be shown to anyone. The guest whose name goes to the player becomes his prey. The music turns on, during the dance each player quietly watches his prey, and when the music stops, he tries to grab it. The game is interesting because each participant will be the prey of another hunter.
Name that tune!
On the eve of the party, select a playlist of backing tracks of teenagers' favorite songs and some other popular tunes. Divide the players into two or three groups.
Play a short fragment of the melody and ask the groups to guess the name of the song (sing 1-2 lines). After you have guessed the song, you can sing it in chorus (then it is better to have several sheets with printed lyrics - not everyone may know the words).
The team that guesses the most songs wins. Separate prizes should be provided for the best singers.
“Take me to work!”
5 people are invited to participate in this competition. The presenter must prepare the costumes of fairy-tale characters in advance. You don’t have to rent them from the nearest salon, you can do everything yourself, believe me, it will be much funnier. So, the presenter announces the interview. For example, in order for participants to get to work, they should dress up as written in the dress code rules. The rules, naturally, must be prepared by the presenter in advance and hidden in the hat. Participants, without looking, take out a card and dress as it is written there. After this, they go out into the hall and pityingly ask, for example, the birthday person (let him be the employer) to hire them. Believe me, a man with a cowboy hat, with a mop sticking out between his legs (like a cowboy), pitifully asking to be accepted for a position, will cause a storm of positive emotions among all the guests present.
Synchronized jumps
A game for two or three couples. Each pair stands so that its legs (left and right) can be tied with a rope. After this, all participants line up around the presenter, whose task is to rotate the jump rope as low as possible to the accompaniment of fiery music, forcing the competitors to jump over it at the same time. Gradually, the rope begins to be rotated higher and higher, which means that players need more dexterity to simultaneously overcome the obstacle. “Synchronized jumping” continues until one winner is determined, the most jumping pair.
Competition No. 10. "Snowball Throwing"
The competition requires an adult dressed as a snowman. He will periodically prevent children from competing. It is also necessary to make a lot of snowballs from padding polyester, cotton wool and fabric, in extreme cases, crumpled paper, or small light balls wrapped in foil.
Children are divided into 2 teams. A wide basin or bucket is placed 3-4 meters from them.
But not everything is as simple as it might seem at first glance. In the midst of the competition, a snowman suddenly appears, who can cover the buckets, or try to steal the already collected snowballs. Then the children need to drive away the snowman with the same snowballs. If you hit it, it disappears for a while, then it may appear again. He can interfere with each team in turn. You can allocate 5 minutes for the game.
Sea battle
A similar competition would be appropriate at a pirate party in honor of the birthday boy. Water is poured into basins of equal size, and lit floating candles - ships - are launched. Determine the distance from which you will extinguish them. If you're playing outdoors, you can use a flower spray bottle, but if you're playing indoors, maybe just blow it out, like on a cake?

Game "In my pants"
Take ready-made ones or come up with your own competitions for adults’ birthdays - for example, you can use the idea “In my pants.”
There is no need to announce the name. The guests sit at the table, each tells his neighbor on the right the name of the film that came to his mind. And he remembers what his neighbor tells him.
And then the presenter announces: Now each of you, in turn, will say the following out loud: “In my pants ...”
, and then the name of the movie that your neighbor told you.
All guests take turns saying. It will be funny if someone has “Office Romance” or “300 Spartans” in their pants.
Sculptor
This is a raffle game in which all guests of the festive event can take part. The presenter, without explaining the rules of the competition to anyone, asks all but three children, including the birthday boy, to leave the room. The hero of the occasion is appointed conditionally as a sculptor. His task is to put two friends in the most uncomfortable position (one player can freeze in the “lying down” position, and the second can sit on his back, clasping his hands around the body) and position himself in any position of his choice next to each other. The presenter immediately asks the birthday boy and the competition participant who, due to the fault of the sculptor, finds it most difficult to remain in one position, to change places. The next child is then invited into the room. Now the role of sculptor falls to him. The game continues according to the same principle until all the guests of the party have built their masterpiece as creators.
Why is all this necessary?
Many people (let’s not point fingers, but most often these are not our most positive comrades) sometimes ask the question - why all these competitions? Usually I get off with jokes or answer seriously that otherwise it will be boring. In fact, the reason, of course, is not boredom. Any holiday for adults most often involves alcohol, and so that guests are not too zealous with breastfeeding, they need to be a little distracted, amused, and simply encouraged to dance.
Another important aspect is embarrassment, which is something I often encounter when throwing a party for my children or nephews. They have already passed the age when you can just come up and start playing together, and when children who are strangers to each other find themselves in the same company, you need to help them overcome a slight chill in communication.
The only place where you can do without additional entertainment is a youth party in a good club, where it’s not boring for adults even without fun competitions, and it’s better to help any group of adults spend time with pleasure and fun.
Preparation
Don't think that you can prepare the entire party, including table games for adults, at the last second. I usually set aside a few days for this because you will need:
- write a script;
- select competitions for adults;
- find or buy props;
- stock up on small prizes for the winners;
- minimal rehearsal (for example, if it is expected that several large women from the accounting department will compete in bag jumping, then you need to check in advance whether the room can withstand such a scale and whether there is room to turn around).
Ideally, you need an assistant for all this.
Preparation for the holiday
The process of organizing a holiday is not so complicated if you do everything consistently. The main thing is to choose a theme and location.
When choosing the direction of the holiday, be sure to consult with your son, take into account his wishes and preferences. You shouldn’t hope that your personal choice will definitely please your teenager. At the age of 12, the transition period may already begin, so children may perceive their parents’ independent decisions as an attempt to control and instill their own desires.
Game "Toast to the birthday boy" on his birthday
How to prepare fun birthday contests? It is best if they are at least slightly related to the hero of the occasion. An example of the simplest word game for a birthday is a toast to the birthday boy, composed right there at the table.
What will you need for this entertainment?
A pen and a card in which you need to write a congratulatory text in advance, using blanks instead of adjectives - you will fill them in together with the guests.
Text of the blank for congratulating the birthday boy:
Those who do not know what should happen in the end will begin to diligently praise the hero of the occasion, listing his best qualities (young, smart, handsome, experienced), and those who are a little more familiar with this type of table creativity will definitely screw something up. something sudden and caustic.
While the guests are praising the birthday boy, you carefully fill in the words instead of the missing adjectives, and then loudly and with expression you read out the result to the friendly laughter of the whole company.
Pick one or two outdoor games for your birthday - for example, a small quest that can be arranged anywhere. Don't make it too long; three to five steps will be enough.
Download the quest “Rebuses”Download the quest “Pictures”Download the quest “Riddles”
By the way, if you have enough courage, then try making the key the main subject of the quest, which is why the banquet hall is closed.
Good funny birthday contests also come from ordinary restrictions - a game with forks makes guests groan with laughter. To conduct this competition, you need to take several ordinary items (if you are organizing a birthday game, these can be especially durable gifts that cannot be scratched or broken) and two table forks, as well as a thick scarf. The hero of the occasion is blindfolded, given forks with which he can touch this or that object, and asked to guess what is in front of him.
Children's or teenagers' party? Funny competitions for teenagers will help defuse the situation just as much as competitions for adults. A fun activity can be done with four bananas and a stool (a coffee table will do). The idea is simple - you need to get on all fours, and using only your teeth, peel and eat a banana for a while.
Good competitions for young people should be fun and very funny. Competitions for teenagers can also be theatrical. Prepare several sets of props (ordinary household items in unexpected combinations - for example, a comb, a burnt-out light bulb and a chair cover in one set, and a mop, a soft toy and a bright plastic glass in another), and also prepare several names of popular films, focus on your audience - it’s better to take what is familiar to everyone.
The essence of the task is to act out a scene from the film using props. The winners are determined by applause.
Surprise bag
You need to put all sorts of funny gifts in the bag. These could be old cups, rags, torn things, broken toys and much more. It all depends on the imagination of those involved. The participant pulls out objects from the bag and tells how he will use them and thanks everyone for the original surprise. Such a comic performance causes a lot of fun among the guests. You can choose the winner whose story is the funniest.
You can also put notes, riddles, and funny tasks in the bag that the player must complete.
Exciting competitions for boys 10-12 years old
Players are offered several locks and a wide variety of keys.
The task is to open each lock.
Collect the dragon
Players receive a box of paper clips. You need to assemble paper clips into a chain within the allotted time. Whoever has the longest “dragon” wins.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The competition involves couples who stand with their backs to each other and lock elbows.
The task is to run to the opposite end of the room without opening your arms.
Extra points are given for telling about the habits and habits of this miracle creature.
Fisherman
The players receive a long stick with a fishing line or string on which a magnet is attached.
In front of them are toys with magnets. The task is to “catch” as many “fish” as possible with your eyes closed. The difficulty is that they play in pairs: the “sighted” person directs the actions of the “fisherman”, who is blindfolded.
Option - you can attach small magnets to the candies with tape. And then the pleasure after the game will also be sweet.
Greedy
There are a variety of things in front of the children (clothes, kitchen utensils, stationery, etc.) The players must take the maximum number of items... You can hold them with your hands, your head, help with your knees...
The one who manages to collect the most items without dropping the items will win.
Collect the scarecrow
Guests are divided into two teams. In front of each is a set of various items of clothing (scarves, towels, hats, shirts, etc.) You need to build a “scarecrow” from available materials.
The creative team wins.
Face painting
The Chinese calendar has a twelve-year cycle, and for the first time since birth, a child celebrates his birthday in his Year of the Tiger, Snake, Horse. In this regard, a festive makeup competition - face painting - would be appropriate. A photo collage of samples and crayons for drawings on the face and body must be prepared in advance, but the fantasy of transforming into a Monkey or Dragon is limitless for children.
I-games
Fun table competitions can be based on anything. For example, there are several types of “I” games. One is predominantly for teenagers - in it, two players compete to see how many candies can fit in their mouth; after each candy, you need to more or less clearly pronounce any stupid phrase, for example, “I am a fat-cheeked lip-slapper.”
The adult version of the game is slightly different - guests must introduce themselves (say the word “I”
) in a circle until one of them gets lost or gets distracted (by the way, laughter is also considered a defeat), and the host invites the other guests to give him a funny nickname.
After this, the fun begins, which unites all table competitions like a chain reaction - it can be very difficult not to laugh, and after a couple of minutes everyone has a nickname with which he introduces himself (for example: “I am a furry pseudopod”, “I am a cheerful armpit”, “I am a rosy-cheeked lip-slapper,” etc.)
In the next round, the person who laughed is given a second nickname, and he must pronounce it in its entirety (“I am a furry pseudopod - green Chingachgook”).
Usually this game ends on the fourth circle, because everyone is laughing! This competition is best held when the guests are already a little “fun”.
Where have you been?
The game is suitable for both children and adults.
Signs made from cardboard are used, although you can also simply make them from paper. You need to write on them:
Dentist, School, Club, Section, Park, Shopping Center, Sea, Post Office, Zoo, Hospital, Beauty Salon, Fitness Club, Water Park, Kindergarten, Bathhouse, Toilet.
The selected participant stands with his back to the guests, and the host places a sign on his back. The participant does not know what is written there, but the guests do. He is asked questions that he must answer:
- Were you alone there?
- How often do you visit this place?
- Do you like it there? If so, why?
- Which famous people would you like to see there?
- Why did you choose this particular place?
- What three items do you take with you there?
You can come up with other questions, there are many competition scenarios. Players and signs can be changed. It will be very funny if they go to the zoo every day, take textbooks and spare shoes with them and meet Philip Kirkorov, etc. there.
Birthday contests for preschool children
We offer games designed for children from 3 to 6 years old. They are not only funny and exciting, but also entertaining, educational, and intricate.
Children are waiting for the holiday, for them it is a real miracle and magic, where, after blowing out the candles, they can make a cherished wish. Competitions will help to interest the children, for which they will receive sweets and gifts.
Find the treasure
Guests who came to the celebration should be divided into several teams. Tasks are laid out in advance. The kids must complete them in order to get to the treasures. Each note should indicate where to look for the next task.
Snail
Incredibly funny competition. The main goal of the relay race is to reach the finish line slowest. On command, all children walk very slowly to the indicated place. The loser is the one who gets there the fastest. Whoever stops no longer takes part in the game. The winner receives a prize, and all participants receive souvenirs and sweets.
Blind rain of candy
Several children are invited to play and they are blindfolded. You need to scatter sweets on the floor. The child who collects the most candies is considered the winner. Make sure that children do not cheat or peek.
Balloons

Candy soup
Two people take part in the competition and are given a ladle each. Opposite, after three meters, you need to place a chair, and on it - a pan or other container. Sweets are placed near the children. Participants must scoop sweets into ladles and carry them into a saucepan. Whoever completes the task faster will receive candy, which they can share with the rest of the guests.
Observant parrot
Children taking part in the competition must repeat all the words after the leader. The exception is the word “parrot”. Music plays and different words are called, including the regular pronouncement of “parrot.” The one who repeats the word is eliminated. The presenter must be cunning and speak faster after each dropout, confusing the children. The winner is the last remaining participant.
Colors
According to the terms of the competition, the presenter must pronounce the color and play any melody for 10 seconds. During this time, children must find some object of this shade in the room and touch it with their hand. A participant who fails to find a suitable color is eliminated from the game. Then another color is pronounced and so on until only one participant remains - the winner.
Dancing with obstacles
The competition scenario is as follows: in the room where the holiday is held, two ropes are pulled. One at a distance of 50 cm from the floor, the other at a distance of a meter. The ropes should be placed at a distance, not under each other, but slightly moved. If you have nowhere to tie them, you can hold them in your hands.
Then some incendiary music, pop or Latin, is turned on. And the participants are invited to step over the lower rope and crawl under the upper one. All this must be done blindfolded.
The fun begins when the ropes are quietly removed and the participants begin to overcome non-existent obstacles.
Game “I’ll tell you a secret”
An interesting entertainment for which you need to prepare a little - “I’ll tell you a secret.” What is the essence of the game? Everything is very simple - each of the guests draws cards from a hat with a funny text in verse prepared in advance (you will have to try hard here). All cards begin with the words “I’ll tell you a secret,” and then there are possible options, for example:
- I’ll tell you a secret that I don’t wear underwear, if you doubt it, I’ll show you now;
- I’ll tell you a secret, I’m on a diet, I only eat grass, I don’t look at cutlets.
If you choose active competitions, such as the best dance or running around chairs, make sure that there is enough space around so that people of all sizes feel comfortable.
Do you prefer competitions for a small company? It happens that you need competitions for parties, but you definitely won’t have too big a group, try to play something intimate and not require a large number of people. These could be text games and competitions for a small company, or verbal ones, for example:
- Burim;
- writing a fairy tale line by line;
- forfeits.
Questions - answers
The most win-win entertainment for guests with an endless number of options. The host comes up with the questions, and the answers are printed or handwritten and distributed to the guests at random. It turns out something like: “Do you move furniture at home?” - "Every night."
You can also make several cards in advance, some with questions, others with answers, and arrange them in equal piles on the table, turning them down and mixing thoroughly. And invite guests to take turns pulling out a question, and then the answer to it.
