Note to Instructors:
You can use this exercise in face-to-face classes of any size. You may want to give extra credit points to the first group(s) to provide what you judge to be good answers. That will help motivate students to try to answer these difficult questions. In online classes, you could use the questions on a discussion board or as an essay assignment.
