Bernoulli's Trial

Bernoulli's Trial is a competition where a mathematical statement is presented on the board and the students have a set amount of time to determine if this statement is true or false. A team is eliminated after two incorrect answers. The last team to remain is the winner. Prizes are presented to the top three teams and the team that has the most number of incorrect answers. (Grand Loser) Note that being the grand loser requires just as much skills as first place.
