Even if something doesn't work out, it's a good idea to put it in and document what you tried to do and where it went wrong, because it's still a valid part of the learning process. Others had ideas of their own. We split up for about 45 minutes, then came back to read what we had written and discuss it. Read aloud to the others who must try to guess which is which. It's just a game of make-pretend.
Nobody expects anything different.
