Task 11: Push Your Luck Trivia

2 parts: This task will be done in 2 parts. Each part has 5 questions, and only those who do well enough on part 1 will move on to part 2. Additionally, if at least 7 players on your team get 15+ points in part 1, then your mole will automatically move to round 2, even if he didn't get 15+ points.

Scoring: Each question has 10+ choices. Some of those choices are right, and some are wrong. You can either say which ones are right, or which ones are wrong.

If you say which ones are right, then u get one point each for them, but if u make a mistake and say any is right when it is not, u get 0 points for the entire question.

Same thing for saying which are wrong; one point each if u are correct, but even one incorrect choice means 0 points for the question.

Example:

Cell Phone Makers:
Motorola
Samsung
Nokia
2+2
Coca-Cola
Dell

You can say that motorola and nokia are right and get 2 points. But if u say motorola, nokia and dell are right, u get 0 points.

Similiarly, u can say 2+2 and coke are wrong for 2 points. But if you say 2+2 and coke and samsung are wrong, then 0 points.
