Sometimes everyone understands the message – other times (and this week happens to be one of those times) we’re just not speaking the same language.
The answer to the MindGames “Guess the Car” contest couldn’t have been more clear – or so we thought. Unfortunately, most of our players felt we weren’t communicating clearly. Whether you call it babble, gibberish or just good old fashioned gobbledegook, you misunderstood what we were trying to say.
Luckily, eight people DID manage to solve the mystery. We weren’t talking about ‘de bumper,’ we were talking about ‘de fender.’ AKA the Land Rover Defender.
Was it the Frenchman talking about the British car? The world may never understand each other, but here are the eight lucky travelers who will all receive a $10 McDonalds Gift Card.
