Intro

As INTJs, we are completely deluded into thinking that we are excellent at inferring cause and effect through our incredible "rational" intellect. I posit that this is completely true. Now, let's test this...

Wat do?

I will state a cause, then poster A will infer it's effect and state another cause. Poster B will then infer the effect of poster A's cause, and so forth and so on until we have solved every problem in the universe.

Ex.
--------------------------------------------------
Poster A:

Cause: Trip to Mexico.

--------------------------------------------------

Poster B:

Effect: Herpes.

Cause: Lady Gaga

--------------------------------------------------

Poster C:

Effect: Vomiting

Cause: Nazi Germany

--------------------------------------------------

Got it, stupid?

(Also, feel free to post pictures or video clips for your answers.)

Now, let's begin...
