the puzzles were displayed on nine of the ten trilons that spelled out the "double talk" logo on stage. the tenth, the trilon with the "d", stayed in place and was considered a free space. the receiver saw the blank puzzles while the giver viewed the puzzle solution from an offscreen monitor. based on the solution, the giver tried to lead the receiver to the correct answer. for example, if a puzzle was displayed as g_____ c_____ and the solution was george carlin, the giver would mention something associated with the comedian.
