Game Rules

  • The first round has two double jeopardy items; the second round has four.
  • Both participants of each team participate in each round, but only one answer per item, and no consulting, except:
  • On double jeopardy items, the two members of the team consult.
  • If none of the students answers correctly, the faculty advisers can answer.
  • Scores do not go below zero.
  • If a team does not bet much on a double-jeopardy item, we ridicule them by clucking like a chicken.
  • All double-jeopardy items are psychology songs, related to the topic. The item will identify the song and singer. Your task is to sing the song well enough to satisfy the audience, who will vote yes or no. On these items, either of the student members OR the faculty adviser can reply.
