Directions: 
    -One person reads the questions & keeps score.
    -The others are pulling blocks & answering questions.
    -Pull a block. Read the question that corresponds with the number on the block.  That 
person has the first chance to answer the question. If they get it correct on 
    their first try, they get a point.  If they get it wrong, the next person gets a chance at 
    answering and getting the point.  Go around the group once, and if no one can answer
the
question, the next person pulls a block. 
-Some numbers will not have questions but will automatically give you extra

-Continue playing until the tower falls.  Whoever caused the tower to fall
automatically loses 
the game.  The winner is the person with the most points.
