Everyone sits in a circle.
Everyone writes, at the top of his or her own page, a question that he or she would like to have answered by the Oracle. When everyone has done this, all pass their sheets to the right (if a second game is played, pass left).
The second person receives a question, and must write, on the line below, a semi-reasonable answer to this question. It's best to actually address the question; plenty of humor will come from this game even without intnetional intentional non-sequiters. When all have written their answers, the sheet is folded so that only the last line is readable by the next person. All sheets are then passed in the same direction.
The next person must now write a question that could have produced that answer, and folds his or her sheet likewise, so that only that question is visible to the next writer.
Play proceeds in this fashion, alternating between question- and answer-writing rounds. When a player sees a question, he or she writes an answer. When he or she sees an answer, he or she writes a question. Sometimes it occurs that you are looking at the wrong thing on a given round, because the person before you screwed up. What you do in tht that situation is really up to you. It doesn't matter.
