Step 1:

Come up with a list of impossible things.

We usually do this as we go--taking turns coming up with something impossible, and completing step two before we come up with another idea.

Some examples:

- It would be impossible for the entire world to stop drinking coffee.

- It's impossible to solve global warming overnight.

- It's impossible that I could drop a rock and it would go up.

Step 2:

Figure out how to make the impossible possible.

An exercise in opening your mind, your task is to come up with as many ways that the seemingly impossible idea is, in fact, very possible. For example, if you were flying upwards as you dropped the rock, the rock would also travel upwards, relative to the Earth.

On average, we can come up with around 5 ways to make anything impossible possible. Usually by the fifth way, we've also come up with a new impossibility.

The game is hilarious, fun and incredibly entertaining for long stretches of time. As a result, Dan and I discovered that we both wanted to watch Waterworld, learned that our waiter read Wired magazine and laughed for about two hours straight.
