SCRABBLE: Perception
Ten people see a scruffy looking, older man, in a tattered hat, standing along side a fence near an elementary school and they each see something different.
One observer thinks that he is someone’s grandfather coming to walk his grandchild home from school at the end of the day. Two assume that the man is a homeless person making his way through another empty day. Three think he is a child-molester casing the playground. Two think that he is a workman examining a hole in the fence. One thinks that he is a victim of Alsheimers and one of the walking wounded. One thinks he’s the school janitor retrieving a ball that was hit over the fence.
Ten scrabble players have the rack pictured here and it’s their turn at the board pictured here.

It all depends on what ‘IS’ is.
