  • Patent number: 5219433
    Abstract: A game, in which a question is simultaneously posed to all of the players, includes a device for determining which of a number of players is the first to correctly answer, or to most closely correctly answer the question. Emanating from a central hub are a number of biased pivoting arms that are related at one end to the hub. A response to a posed question can be indicated adjacent the free end of each of the arms. The arms are all biased to pivot the free end toward the hub to facilitate the positive identification of the sequential order of the answers. Each player restrains the free end of an assigned arm until the player has indicated an answer to the question. Selected ones of up to six arms may be connected to the hub to accommodate differing numbers of players. A readily erasable writing surface is carried adjacent the free end of each arm on which players mark the answer.
