Serious ‘XM(That’s W2XM) presentsExam-Prep JepperdeeTech-exam prep, v. 2
You MUST use the slide-show mode for the program’s hyperlinks to work properly with MS PwrPt. Operation of the game is almost intuitive, and you can make up your own rules. On the game boards: each numeric point value is a hyperlink which reveals either a question or “Daily Double.” Whenever you get “Daily Double,” click on either word. “SFJ” (semi-final jepperdee) and “FJ” (final jepperdee) are also hyperlinks leading to questions; after selecting SFJ or FJ, click on the screen until it’s obvious what to do. Any question slide or answer slide may give you clickable options at the bottom of the screen. You may take any one of them. On the answer slide,clicking “back” returns you to the game board. For most fun, appropriate hardware (lights, push-buttons, sounder, lockout circuitry) should be used. A diagram is available from the author.
