Rules

Squads line up in any order they like On each question, the first person in each squad’s line can put up his hand. If he does, the next person in line gets a chance to answer the question. If he gets it right the squad gains that many points; otherwise the squad looses that many.

After each question, the person at the front of the line goes to the back.

The questions go up in value, and there are the same six categories each time.
