It looked like he went to the 4th row to find the daily double, then just went through all the cheapest questions, as he was most likely to answer those. He finished all of the $200s, then went to the $400s, etc. I don't think it was to t

I find the single biggest problem with managers is #9 - "Do you have enough distraction for programmers". Time and again, management, or whomever can offer distractions, don't see the importance of it. You give a team a pool table, game co
