Nontrivial Pursuit
One of my Somerville students has borrowed one of my Trivial Pursuit sets so that he and some other students can use it to turn their studying into a game using the flash cards they created for mathematics and computer science. So instead of categories like "Arts & Entertainment" and "Sports & Leisure", the categories are now things like "Calculus", "Concurrency", and "Analysis". I approve!
Maybe this new game should be called "Nontrivial Pursuit"?
