Who Wants to be a... Computer Genius?

   This Discovering Computers 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2004 online games will test the students' computer knowledge as they try to answer 15 questions correctly to become a Computer Genius on a specific chapter from the CGS 1100 textbook. Each student should attempt this at least once a week (current chapter assigned) and keep your score, when you get 15 for 15 (16, 17, or 18, if you miss a question or two) report this to me via email and verify with a hard copy printout of the results page.

   p.s. My first attempt made it to the $10,000 question but I missed my first question and quit (that's just me--I have to get perfect since I am the instructor). However, you get to play until all your panic buttons are used or make four mistakes (without using a panic buttton). Also you have 60 seconds to give your final answer or lose a panic button. Have fun! This is a neat JavaScript Game using the question bank from the Discovering Computers 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2004 text.
