Me: Thanks, Don! Gentlemen, it's time to resolve this game. You've all locked in a wager on one of the three categories you just saw on ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS OF 2014. Now, we'll reveal those wagers. Clement, you're in third with $1,000 - how much did you risk, and on which category?
Clement: I wagered $995 on LAND.
Me: All but $5 on the Single. Let's see how that holds up. Bill, you have $2,100 - how much did you risk, and on what category?
Bill: All of it. $2,100 on SEA.
Me: OK. If John chose that category and outwagered you, you will go first and have a chance to win. John, you have $8,000. How much did you risk, and on what?
John: I wagered $5,850 on SEA. (Audience oohs)
Me: Interesting wager. Here's how it boils down. Clement, you will go first and get your question unopposed. Regardless of the outcome, John will go next for his question. If he's right, he wins. If he's wrong, Bill will get a try at that question. I think it is possible for any of you to win at this point. Good luck, gentlemen. Clement, here is your LAND question...
In December of 2014, the state of New York joined the growing list of states banning the practice of hydraulic fracturing, a new yet controversial way to drill for natural gas that is fraught with many environmental and health risks. This practice goes by an 8-letter nickname. For $1,995, or just $5....what is that nickname?
