The largest number of details was lost when subject #1 told subject #2 the rumor. They confused details, forgot some, and even added new ones. Sharpening took place in rumor one.

The professor read it aloud in class, while four students that were recruited by the professor stayed outside the classroom and did not listen to the story. The first subject was then called into the classroom to listen to the rumor while the professor read it and taped recorded the whole situation.
