A note on Colour or Country

The game Colour or Country is an example of a game which is 100% skill and 0% chance, but nevertheless has no interesting strategy. The rules are simple: players take turns naming either a colour or a country. The first player to name a country loses.

What follows is a transcript of Dr. Lucky's staff's moves in the game of Colour or Country that we played with each Hunt participant who challenged us. For the record, the staff were undefeated during the hunt.
