Prepare a certain number (for beginners 7, later always more—up to 15) of paper cones or dark small bottles (10 grams) and place in each an object of a different scent, such as: a piece of onion, burnt coffee, rose leaves, anise, orange peel, cloves, violet flowers, and the like, or pour different liquids, such as: kerosene, turpentine, ether, and so on. Arrange these objects in a single row, a few feet apart from one another, and instruct each of the players to walk along the table, smelling each tube (small bottle) for 5 seconds. Then give each one a minute to write down from memory, in order, all the scents arranged.
