The goal of 'Opens' is simply to initiate a conversation with a stranger and continue to the point where they indicate that they either want to continue or discontinue the conversation. There is no outcome beyond that as it is an excercise in approaching strangers and chatting. It can last from thirty seconds to ten minutes. Once the other person starts to contribute equally back to the conversation, the excercise has been fulfilled. That excercise consists of:
1) Approaching one or more people you don't know (singles, mixed sets, 2,3,5 sets)
2) Opening with something situational, an opinion, a request etc.
3) Contributing 90% of the conversation for the first few minutes
4) Leaving the situation gracefully regardless of the outcome.
