Day 16

The word I was sent is Willywaw. According to yourdictionary.com, willywaw is a noun meaning a sudden, violent, cold wind blowing down from mountain passes toward the coast in far northern or southern latitudes, as on the Alaskan coast and Aleutians, and in the Strait of Magellan. It can also mean a state of extreme confusion, turmoil, or agitation. The word I was trying to send is cudweeds, which are any of several composite plants with silky or woolly foliage.

It took me a very long time to send my message. It seemed that someone always spoke right as I was about to, or I would get into a collision when trying to send my message. I was one of the last people to successfully send my entire message. I thought it was much easier to receive a message than send one. When receiving, you need to pay attention but the person sending me a message was very good at talking slowly and getting the message through clearly. There were so many collisions that sending the message was very hard. I also had to be careful when saying my message to make sure I spoke slowly enough for the person receiving it.

Some problems were that everyone spoke at the same time. You also had people who would get into a collision but would keep trying rapidly, not elaving anyone else time to send their message It seemed there were a few people who were very prominent in trying to get their message through loudly and aggressively. Another problem was that people spoke too quickly for their receiver. I thought the best way to solve this was to go in a circle around the room. That way, everyone would get a turn to say and recieve their message. No matter what, there may be issues or collisions, but this is probably the most efficient way to get messages across.
