Game Rules
• Using StataQuest,
students will be
selected randomly to
participate
• An ordering question
will be asked of the
first student on the list
• If the student gets it
right, he/she comes to
the “hot seat”
• If the student does not
get it right, it goes to
the next student
• This continues until
someone gets to the
hot seat
• You may earn up to
three points at the hot
seat
Game rules
• Correct answer +1 pts • If you are satisfied
with your points, you
• Incorrect - back to 0,
may stop
Question goes to next
on list for a chance for • So, let’s get started

three “lifelines” phone (or ask) a
friend, ask the class, or
