Hi. I don't know what is Ashe's standard line. In fact, I know nothing
about psychology, but I was curious about what exactly you're trying
to achieve.
As far as I could tell, you want to let the people who will be working
with you know that some questions (that I assume you will ask) must be
answered wrong.
If I'm correct so far, that is quite easy, but it will depend on your
work, I think. Anyway, if you tell you group previously (can you do
that?) that the questions they must answer wrong are all of the same
pattern, they will probably be able to figure out.
I have no idea what you're questions will be, but let's say you will
ask questions to a group of people and you're trying to figure out how
people's answers affect the answers of people who listen to the
previous answers.
For example, if you ask ``What's the most agressive mammal on Earth?''
and the first, say, 9 people answer ``Wales'', that may make the next
person inclined to answer ``Wales'' as well. But of course, that
depends on each person, obviously.
So, say you want you group to answer ``Humans'' (or any other answer
which isn't Wales), then you can tell them previously that everytime a
question is related to animals, they should answer it in whatever way
you'd like them to. But that excludes animal related questions from
the whole game.
In any case, you can develop a pattern on the questions to let them
know which ones you need their attention. If the questions are for
example, written on paper, then it's even easier.
I hope I wasn't too off the problem.
