If you know about the setup of the experiment (or can figure it
out what occured instantly) the correct thing to say is
of course "I have no freaking idea".

I would 1) don't answer immediately, look into a direction
whether the other guy is not looking, and make a few mental
meanderings based on what I see, then think of a few
arbitrary numbers (counting features in the landscape would
do, provided you both don't look same way), add them up, and
make the answer depend on whether it's odd or even, just
out of spite.

We ain't synched no more. The diff is still small, but it's
there.
