One of the apps on the iPad is called “Financial Football” (I’ve seen many of you messing around with it from time to time), presented by Visa. It asks a variety of financial questions ranging from fairly simple, to challenging and not so obvious. There are 3 levels the game can be played at: Rookie, Pro, and Hall-of-Fame. In each, the game’s objective is drive the ball down the field and score, while stopping the other team from doing the same, all by answering questions correctly. All questions are personal finance based. Your task is this: score twice in the 10-minute version of the hall-of-fame level. Not the easiest thing to do. Incorrect answers definitely get in the way of success. If you can manage this feat, 25 points are yours. If you find that task too difficult to achieve, then for 15 points you can score just one touchdown in a half (10 minutes) on the hall-of-fame level, or for 10 points you can score at all in any level. You can only record one score into your grade with this task, but you can try as many times as you’d like! Once, however, you’ve decided to enter a score, it’s over, that’s what you’ll get, no improving it.

To complete:

1)Launch Financial Football app

2) Play game, choose teams (irrelevant to success, although I will look closely at who you’ve chosen to play as and against), and choose a 10-minute half.

3) Play the game by answering questions. Don’t dilly-dally, the clock keeps ticking and time is of the essence (it helps to win the toss; I wouldn’t blame you if you ensured that happened before you embarked playing).

4) Get your satisfactory score and send the screenshot of the score in an email to me with the subject line being “your name-financial football.”
