For example: I will tell you that I gave myself the rock known as "granite" and these are my picks:
- Granite's picks: Baltimore, Buffalo, SF, Detroit; (189 total points) *idk what I was was thinking with this number?!
You can click on the name of the rock to find out more about it and view a virtual specimen.
I just randomly assigned students with rocks, so there's no reason or rhyme to the name of the rock and your name. (So, for example, if your name starts with a certain letter, it's not a necessity that your rock's name starts with that letter.)

1)How many different possible outcomes are there for the weekend slate of games?
2) Have we covered all of the options for the outcomes? (FYI - I added a couple sets of picks for the students who were not able to make their own picks on Friday afternoon, and I tried to make those picks different from all of the others.)
