Students will be divided in three teams and will choose one of their representatives to first come up to the buzzer. A question will be asked such as "whoever's birthday is the closes to today's date...' will choose the first category and amount that they wish to play. Whoever buzzes their buzzer first may answer the question. If this person gives the incorrect answer, any of the other two may attempt to answer the question.
