Questions
Does the order of tapping matter?
No. The short straw is chosen before anyone taps, so drawing first is neither better nor worse.
What if nobody draws the short straw?
That cannot happen if everyone draws. If only one straw is left it must be the short one, and the tool says so.
Can more than one person lose?
Not in this version. Run it twice, or use the wheel if you need two names.
