The Script
This game is a learning exercise for Stacks & Queues in a CS2 level class. The questions are kept at an abstract level.
It is based on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! The only difference is that our game allows for competition between groups
composed of three or less students, but the final Million Dollar Question is a collaborative effort amongst all groups.
If the Million Dollar Question is answered correctly, then Dr. Gehringer has to pay up.
The Process:
Step 1:
The class divides into groups of three consisting of people from the same row.
Step 2:
When the game starts the last row is called upon for question #1. Every
group from this row is allowed to raise their hand, whoever raises their hand first
gets to answer the question.
Step 3: After each question is attempted (answered right or wrong), the next row's groups compete to answer the next question.
