[Teachldsseminary] Beat the Mob (1 against 100)

[Debbie Ditto]

Thanks Kim - I have never heard of this game - I am excited to give it a 
try. Do you read the question and the answer choices out loud for the Mormon 
and the Mob? ....d

>- The Mob has 10 seconds to write down their answers (They write A, B, or 
>C)
>I post the three choices on paper so they can look at them.

>- Reveal the correct answer.
>- If the Mormon answers correctly, he gets the number of points
>corresponding to every Mob member who answered it wrong.  For ex.  if 5 mob
>members get the first question wrong, the Mormon gets 125 points;  if 3 Mob
>members get the fourth question wrong, the Mormon gets 150 points, etc.

>- The only time Mob members earn points is when the Mormon answers a
>question incorrectly.   Then the remaining Mob members split the Mormon's
>accumulated points between them.
>- When the Mormon answers incorrectly, he leaves the game with nothing - 
>the
>remaining Mob members (those who answered it correctly)  split his points.
>I also pick someone with a calculator to act as the computer.  We alway

>- A new contestant is called and all mob members are back in the game -
>starting at 25 points again.
>- If the Mormon answers the question right and all the mob members answer
>the question right, the Mormon gets no points.  You just move on to the 
>next
>question.
>- After each question the Mormon has the choice of continuing on or 
>quitting
>with the points he has won so far.  If he quits he takes his points and the
>game starts over.
>- Everyone keeps track of their own points and banks them forward to the
>next round.  However, when a mob member becomes the Mormon - he keeps his
>mob points separate.  If the Mormon quits and takes his point - he can then
>add them to his total points, but if he guesses wrong, he only loses the
>points he won as a Mormon.
>- The Mormon is given one opportunity during his turn to poll the mob.  He
>can choose any of the three answers (A,B or C) and the mob members who 
>chose
>that one as their answer, must hold up their cards.  The Mormon can then
>make his choice and the game resumes.
>- If the Mormon beats the mob - (eliminates them all)  he wins the game and
>an extra 100 points.
>- We had time for four Mormons (four rounds) and I went through about 24
>questions.  We had about 25 minutes to play.  I would have lots of 
>questions
>on hand, though, in case it goes faster.  I have 20 students.
