    I'm 'in'. The rest of you are 'out'.

    As an 'in' I say statements of truth. You cannot guess directly at what this truth is, you must make statements like mine, and I tell you whether they are my truth or not. NOTE: MY truth is consistent and will not change through the challenge.

    IF you get enough 'truths' to convince me you know my 'truth' - usually 3 statements in a row that are correct - you become 'in', and have the same powers as me - but all 'in' people stick to the same truth, as set by me.

    You need to look for patterns in this so when I say 'X is true, but Y is false' you need to work out what rule or pattern is true for X (and all following statements), but not true for Y

    Example #1:
    It's true for yesterday but not for last week
    It's true for submarine but not for submersible
    It's true for revolution but not for revolt
    (Answer, never stated explicitly: They are words from the titles of tracks by the Beatles )

    Example #2:
    It's true for book but not for literature
    It's true for seen but not for visible
    It's true for bookkeeper 3 times over, but not for librarian
    (Answer, never stated explicitly: The word contains a two consecutive same letters)


    So, the answer can be about word patterns, or from 'lists' from the outside word, or in fact any reasonable construct/pattern involving words and letters.

    PLEASE DO NOT EVER SAY OUTRIGHT WHAT YOU THINK THE PATTERN IS.

    Okay, this is at easy level, and is:

    It's true for Die but not for Death
    It's true for Never but not for Always
    It's true for View but not for Scene

    (Now, if you have an idea what it is, please say it in the form 'It's true for A, but not for B'. I will confirm if it's correct or not.)

    When you are in, you can confirm other peoples answers when they make them as you now know the "truth"

    but we never actually discuss or say what the truth is

    Rules clarification:
    Once you're 'in' do you only give a straightforward 'Yes' or 'No', or can you say "Not quite" or "No, but I like the way you're thinking"?
