I remember years ago (when I was a software developer) I was on a training course with a colleague of mine and we had to do a similar exercise
Except we each had a flip-chart at opposite ends of the conference room and one person had to draw, and verbally describe their drawing, with the other person trying to replicate it
I'd noticed that the angles of the flip-charts and windows in the room meant that if she stood on one side of the flip-chart, I'd be able to see a reflection of her drawing in the window
I slipped her a note so she knew, and told her to draw something relatively elaborate
Needless to say, my rendition matched hers almost perfectly and completely flummoxed the instructor who had been trying to demonstrate how hard it was to communicate even simple designs
