Tabitha secretly chooses one of the coloured shapes and:
• tells Walter the colour of the shape she has chosen (pink, yellow or blue)
• tells Lionel the type of shape she has chosen (triangle, circle or square).
Lionel and Walter both know what coloured shapes are on the table.
Lionel knows that Walter has been told the colour chosen by Tabitha.
Walter knows that Lionel has been told the type of shape chosen by Tabitha.
They do not know what the other has been told.

has chosen. They both answer at the same time and say “No”.
Tabitha then asks them again if they know which coloured shape she has
chosen. They both answer at the same time and say “No” again.
Tabitha asks them a third time if they know which coloured shape she has
chosen and they both answer at the same time and say “Yes”.
