All joking aside, think about how popular psychology jeopardy
has become as a classroom tool. Maybe there is a very good way
to incorporate a quick paced game for some kind of stakes into
the classroom...not for me to figure out because I'm not even
'game' enough to try jeopardy in the classroom...but I know it
works for some people quite nicely! Anyway, the show is certainly
popular and could engender some good thinking just to come up with
items for the game.
