- Absolutely, so my guys always know that if they know for sure and they know it without a doubt, to buzz in and answer.
If not, they should always be conferring with each other and making sure.

It's important that their strategy on how fast they're hitting the buzzers and getting into a rhythm that helps their brains keep, you know, getting things quicker.
