Drawing straws has long been used as a method for resolving disputes, such as "Who will clean up the dog poo?" or "Who's turn is it to do the coffee run?" or "Who is going to be elected to the House of Representatives?" as was the case in Mississippi back in November 2015 when both candidates received a reported 4,589 votes a piece. We've featured 2 versions of drawing straws in this app. Both versions use a random algorithm to select who has drawn the short straw. In the "Quick Game" we have physically attached the short straw condition to one of the on screen images so each challenger has the opportunity to draw the short straw. In the "Enter Names" version you can enter the challengers names and the reason for drawing straws, then the result can be sent to all participants.......or whoever you want! "BE KIND, BE FAIR AND ENJOY DRAW STRAWS"
