Like you, I'm not much of a fan of football, AND I thought that the time to answer was a little too short. That being said, I didn't do TOO horribly - but I only played quarter-long games and only chose medium questions so far (I can handle budgets and the like, but don't consider myself THAT financially savvy), but I knew more than I realized as well, which surprised me. All in all, I might save it and let my hubby play, though sending it to my (financially UN-savvy!) sister might be better served. Besides, she's one of those rare ones who actually LIKES football. As far as sending it to middle-school students...I don't know that I could have answered these questions in middle school. I'm 26, and the greatest portion of these lessons were learned through trial and error - though my parents DID try to help me understand SOME financial stuff, according to THEIR personal financial situation (which isn't very sophisticated or diverse - they live simply).
