also, help my non-logical brain out here
the team wants to do secret santa. but 1 of us is leaving, so there will be an odd number. in my head, this means someone will be left out, but the juniors looked at me as if i were really fucking thick for thinking that it works in pairs. argh.

They are correct, you are.

but.... HOW?
if you have a, b and c, and a and b end up buying for each other, that means c has to buy for himself?

a buys for b, b buys for c and c buys for...?
( Kroney, Wed 28 Nov 2012, 14:20, Reply)

yes but you put the names in a hat, what if a and b draw each other, just leaving c?
it makes my brain bleed

Because it's not pairs,
A buys for B
B buys for C
C buys for A

It's not pairs, because A is buying for B, it doens't mean B is buying for A.... otherwise you'd know whos getting your gift.

If you draw yourself, you draw again.
Assuming there's more than three people involved, the chances of only being able to draw yourself are actually pretty low.
