I think this is the best exercise posted so far. Unlike the other exercises, it can be explained to ordinary middle schoolers in 90 seconds, it engages both visual and tactile senses, it is competitive, it is devoid of perverse incentives, and it will usually be fun to play and funny to watch.
Not so, you're better of improving in small increments than doing the best you can immediately.
That depends on the scoring system. If the judge grade exponentially for better answers, then small increments are a loosing choice.
