"Games Without Frontiers (It's a Knockout)"

Daniel and Ian were playing a game in their room this morning, and Daniel came out screaming about an apparent head-butt administered by Ian. Ian insisted it was an accident, etc., but I was primarily interested in whether the head-butt was extemporaneous and malicious, or whether it was an exaggerated move in an otherwise-legitimate contest. So I asked Ian, "Were you wresting?"

He answered unambiguously, holding up an enticing, sparkly yellow pencil:

"We were playing a game where whoever pushes the other one off the bed first, wins this."
