__**Jeopardy**__ Hey guys, I know its a bit late, but here's the jeopordy. To make it work, you must first go to http://warp.byu.edu/jeopardy/

From there, you will see the jeapody prompt. In the box, you should see 'Category,Points,Answer,Question '. Do *NOT* delete that information, it is needed for the game to run properly.

On the line directly below that information, copy paste this information directly in.

Facebook, 100, The inventor of Facebook, Who is Mark Zuckerberg? Facebook, 200, A feature that outraged its users upon its launch, What is the News Feed? Facebook, 300, This occurs when disparate social contexts are collapsed into one, What is Social Convergence? Facebook, 400, When one feels protected from invasion and exposure through room acoustics and judgement on the proximity of surrounding people and relevance of your information to surrounding people, What is security through obscurity?

When you have done that, you change the number of player to 2, and you can play the jeopordy. Its pretty sweet. you cannot re start a game once you've started, or go back, so to re start the game you must repeat the above procedure.

Hope to hear some feedback, thanks!
