Instructions:
1. Ask a participant to loan you £1.
2. Take this £1 and then ask for a loan of £1 from another participant.
3. Take the £1 from participant 2 and use it to repay participant 1.
4. Next, take the £1 that participant 1 gave you and use it to repay participant 2.
5. Ask the group if anyone is richer from this experience. The answer should be no.
6. Explain to the group that if two ideas had been shared by the participants in the same way that both would have been richer than they were before. Indeed, everyone listening would also be richer if they heard the ideas.
