What+is+Your+n+Ach?

Consider the following:
The Gen Psych textbook has a TRY IT in Chapter 9 that says Imagine yourself involved in a ring-toss game. You have three rings to toss at any of the six pegs pictured here. You will be paid a few pennies each time you are able to ring a peg.

Which peg would you try to ring with your three tosses---peg 1 or 2 nearest you, peg 3 or 4 at a moderate distance, or peg 5 or 6 at the far end of the row?

Discuss:
Do the activity. Report results and discuss your experience below.
