Nose goes or the nose game, also uncommonly called the "rule of nose goes", is a popular selection method most commonly used when deciding which of several persons is assigned an unwanted task.

Rules

The process may have different rules depending on the area, but the general rules are that as soon as one person puts their index finger on their nose to signal that "Nose Goes" is being used to resolve a decision, every other member of the group is prompted to touch their nose. The last person to put their finger on their nose gets assigned the task. If the rest of the group refuses to touch their noses, the person who initiated the Nose Goes process is assigned the task. [1]

In some versions of the game, the starting player must shout "No nose goes", "Not it", or "Nose goes!" to begin the game; [2] however, in other versions, no announcement is necessary and the last person to notice the game may end up having to perform the task. [1]

Variations

Nose Goes does not have to be initiated by an individual of an unwanted task or bill. The last person to realize Nose goes has begun and places their finger on their nose is stuck with the task or bill. [1]

A slightly different version of this game is frequently played in the Netherlands, mostly in student circles. The basics are the same, except instead of touching their nose, participants must make a dakje (Dutch; "roof") above their head by placing the tips of their fingers together and making an upside-down V ("Λ"). The game is usually started out by one person who acknowledges a task that needs to be done, and calls out zonder ("without") followed by the task. People who make the "roof" are exempt from having to do the task, and so the last person to make the roof is the one who has to do it.[ citation needed ]

The process is similar to the game "Get Down, Mr. President", where the last person in a group to touch their ear is tackled to the ground by the other players. [3]

Bags Not is similar. Used in Australia and New Zealand. Players will say Bags Not! and place a thumb on their forehead [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bloody knuckles</span> Hand game of pain endurance

Bloody knuckles is a game in which each player makes a fist with the thumb wrapped around the other fingers. Then each fist punches the other's fist. Players who flinch are out of the game. Whoever lasts the longest before quitting wins the game. The game is played until someone's knuckles are bleeding or they quit due to excessive pain. Variations include simultaneous or alternate punching, and games in which the strike is the loser's punishment/winner's privilege. In the first two ways of playing the game, violence, though essentially consensual, is inherent, not a risk. Almost all ways of playing are dangerous, carrying the risk of injury, scarring, and damage to one's bones and hand. The point is to make them bleed.

The rules of this game are simple: each combatant makes a fist and then the fists punch each other. You flinch, you lose. Whoever lasts the longest before quitting wins.

Automatic and controlled processes (ACP) are the two categories of cognitive processing. All cognitive processes fall into one or both of those two categories. The amounts of "processing power", attention, and effort a process requires is the primary factor used to determine whether it's a controlled or an automatic process. An automatic process is capable of occurring without the need for attention, and the awareness of the initiation or operation of the process, and without drawing upon general processing resources or interfering with other concurrent thought processes. Put simply, an automatic process is unintentional, involuntary, effortless, and occurring outside awareness. Controlled processes are defined as a process that is under the flexible, intentional control of the individual, that the individual is consciously aware of, and that are effortful and constrained by the amount of attentional resources available at the moment.
