Proposal Jeopardy

Need a break from working on a proposal? Perhaps a quick game of proposal related Jeopardy would help.

As many/most of you will know/remember, in Jeopardy, your response must be in the form of a question.

As an example:​
Answer: A part of an ascent of a mountain that is extremely difficult.

Question: What is “a technical section?”
All questions contain proposal related terms. I’ll post the answers as a comment.

If you have a great proposal related answer/question, we’d love to hear it. Please submit these as a comment.
Here are the answers:
Easy
  1. Notes directing someone as to where they can find the spare key.
  2. The steps to be taken to cage a woodchuck that has been eating in the garden.
  3. A coach, manager and place kicker discussing whether to have the football held by hand or placed on a tee.

More Difficult
  1. Reviewing what needs to be done before popping the big question.
  2. The loudest person in a choir
  3. A deposit and letter of intent for a large circus.

Toughest
  1. The annual gathering of people who attend auctions.
  2. Assessing the beach volleyball players who didn’t wear sun screen on a very sunny day.
  3. A spreadsheet of which members of the S&M club are behaving as expected.
    ​

Have fun…and then get back to that proposal on which you’re supposed to be working!
