The latter must give the colour of something to each of the remaining girls; when all have their "colours" the "angel" will come and guess the colour of one of the girls. He will get three guesses, and if he guesses rightly, the girl is supposed to go to Heaven, and the "angel" will get three chances more. The "devil" will then come and if he guesses rightly, the girl is supposed to go to "hell" with him.
