Experience vs. Inexperience |
Used between Jerry and Elaine to determine who would get to sit in the only remaining first-class seat. Since Elaine had never flown first-class, Jerry reasoned that she wouldn't know what she would be missing. So she was banished to a coach seat. |

Draw names from a hat |
To determine which of the two girls that they picked up at the Gap each of them (Mickey and Kramer) should be paired up with, Mickey suggests that he and Kramer put the girls' names into a hat. This idea falls through because they don't even know their names! Elaine comes up with what appears to be a perfect solution: On their next date with the girls, Mickey and Kramer should show up early and sit across from each other. Then the girls will decide the pairing of couples by who each of them sits next to. That, too, fails, because the girls show up even earlier than Mickey and Kramer. |
