If you haven't played Crap / Not Crap before, you'll find that it's probably the easiest and most difficult game you've ever played, not to mention quite addicting.

This method also allows people to discuss, if they choose, why they chose what they chose, and how much trouble they had making the decision (their "Waffling Factor", if you will, see below), and, of course, why they are right, and everyone else is wrong.

Waffling Factor: A number from 0 to 10 that states , low to high, your difficulty in making the CRAP/NOT CRAP decision. For ease of recognition, preface your number with
