The Time is Right!

This is based on the television quiz show “The Price is Right” in which contestants see how close they can get to the real price of a product without going under. A student gives an event or a number of times they had done something before a certain (unstated) time, and the other students see how close they can get to it going back in time but without going earlier than the event. For example, one student says “Visit Italy twice” and students outbid each other with sentences like “You had visited Italy twice by the beginning of this year”, “You had visited Italy twice before you finished university” and “You had visited Italy twice before you started university”. Any sentences that give a time before the real time are discounted, and the closest sentence then wins.
