Intellectual game for high school students. Scenario. Psychological game for high school students "Butterfly

Games for dividing the audience into several groups

1. Draw

Students choose cards with numbers, leaves of different colors, figures, etc., and then groups are formed according to their likeness.

2. Artists

Students are invited to finish drawing something (a ship, a house, a car, etc.). Then 3-5 completed elements are determined, according to which groups are formed (sail, oars, roof, windows, wheels, etc.).

3. Mosaicing

Each participant receives one part of some photograph, document, quatrain, famous saying and must find those who have other missing parts of the divided material.

4. Celebrities

Students are given the names of historical figures. Then they should unite into groups depending on the sphere of public life, on the historical era or on the country in which historical figures lived.

5. I need support

As many leaders are selected as there are groups to be formed. The hosts take turns choosing their assistants, saying the phrase: “I need support today ... (the name is called), because he (she) ... (the positive quality is called)”. So the required number of groups is recruited. Each next participant, pronouncing the key phrase, is called by the one who was chosen last in the group. It is necessary to direct the guys so that they choose not their friends, but those with whom they communicate little, since in every person you can find positive, valuable qualities that are very important to notice.

Games for group cohesion and "emotional warm-up"

6. The seat to my right is free

All participants sit in a circle on chairs, while one chair remains free. The essence of this exercise is a simple sentence "The seat to my right is free, and I would like this seat to be occupied by ...". This sentence is said aloud by the participant who is sitting next to an empty chair. He must explain why he wants the classmate he named to take this place. You can't use clichés like "because he's a good friend of mine", but more specific descriptions should be given.

7. I am John Lennon

Everyone writes the name of some celebrity, but at the same time he must be absolutely sure that this person is known to everyone. It can be an actor, athlete, singer, writer. The name is attached to the back of a randomly selected participant. Everyone turns into famous people, but no one knows who exactly. Then the players walk around the room and ask each other questions to find out their identity. The answer to the question should be only "yes" or "no". After four or five questions, the player approaches another participant. The game continues until everyone has figured out who they are.

8. Blind

Players are divided into pairs. Then the partners agree on which of them to blindfold. After that, the partner leads the “blind” around the room in such a way that it does not hurt him, but so that the blind person can identify the objects surrounding him. There is one important condition in the game: partners cannot talk. The "blind" is completely dependent on his partner, who decides where to go and how fast. After five minutes, they switch roles. At the end of the game, you can have a discussion, first in pairs, and then in general:

• At what point in the game did I feel most comfortable?
• What was better for me - lead or follow?
• When did I feel uncomfortable?
• What did I like about my partner?
• What would I advise him?

9. Hear me

Choose one player and ask him to leave the room. With others, pick up a proverb (for example, “They cut the forest - the chips fly”). Then instruct different participants to say one word from the proverb at a time. Rehearse, say the proverb at least three times. Then invite the outgoing player and ask him to learn a well-known proverb in the verbal chaos you uttered.

10. Swinging in a circle

Put 5-7 guys in a circle and one in the center of the circle. The latter crosses his arms over his chest and freezes. He needs, without moving his feet, to fall in someone's direction - with his eyes closed. Those standing in a circle put their hands out in front of them and gently push it away, throwing it to each other. The goal of the game is to learn to trust people.

11. Charade of feelings

Participants of the game are given strips of paper with the names of feelings written on them.

The host says: “Everyone has feelings! Feelings cannot be good or bad. They become good or bad when we translate them into actions. Each of us sometimes finds it difficult to identify our feelings.

Ask the participants in the game to think alone about their word and think of how this feeling can be played. Let everyone play their feeling, and the rest will guess what this feeling is. Then questions can be discussed:

Does everyone express their feelings the same way? Are there any feelings that are harder to express than others? What are these feelings? Why is this happening? Why is it important for people to express their feelings?

List of feelings:

12. Hat of questions

Prepare strips of paper with questions written on them and fold them into a hat. The hat is passed around the circle, and each participant, drawing out a question, answers it. The hat goes around in circles until the questions run out.

13. Praise me

Option 1. Players are given slips of paper on which they write their name. Then, after collecting and shuffling the sheets, distribute them to the participants. The guys should write what they like about the person whose name they received, and then bend the sheet so as to close what was written (“accordion”), and pass it on to the other until everyone leaves their entry. You don't need to subscribe. Collect the papers and read aloud what is written on them. (Be sure to review each description before reading to make sure it's positive.) Someone who's been praised is sure to say, "Thank you."

Option 2. The players stand in a circle. Each participant, in turn, tells his neighbor on the right what he likes about him. Then the same thing is done, but in relation to the neighbor on the left.

14. How good I am!

In just one minute, players have to write down a list of all the qualities that they like in themselves. Then give them one more minute to write down the qualities they don't like. When both lists are ready, let them compare them. Usually the list of negative qualities is longer. Discuss this fact.

15. Dare to say

Participants sit in a circle. They are given a bag with paper strips containing unfinished risky statements. The packet is passed around in a circle, everyone takes turns pulling their strip out of it, reading what is written on it, and finishing the phrase.

Walk around the circle, ask each one a question and listen to the answers. Allow other participants to ask clarifying questions. Listen to the answers to all questions in the questionnaire. If there is an issue of interest to everyone, discuss it as a group.

Questionnaire

1. Describe a time when you were lonely.
2. What has helped you deal with loneliness?
3. What have you done to help those suffering from loneliness?
4. What did the days of trial by loneliness give you?

17. Three truths and one lie

Each participant receives a pencil and a sheet of paper with the inscription: "Three truths and one lie" and writes down three truthful statements about himself and one false statement. What is written is brought to the attention of the whole group, and everyone tries to decide which of the statements is false. The author then announces the real false statement.

18. Guide

Group members stand in a line holding hands. Everyone, except the leader, with their eyes closed. The guide must lead the group safely through the obstacles, explaining where they are going. You need to walk slowly and carefully so that the group is imbued with confidence in the leader. After 2-3 minutes, stop, change the guide and continue the game. Let everyone try himself as a guide. After the game, discuss whether the players could always trust the facilitator; In the role of whom did they feel better - the leader or the follower?

19. Give me your hand

Each member of the group receives a piece of paper and a marker. They need to outline their brush. Moving from one sheet to another, all members of the group write down something on the “hand” of each of their comrades. Be sure to emphasize that all entries must be positive. All players can take the sheets home as a souvenir.

20. Do you love your neighbor?

Players sit in a circle on chairs, one person in the middle. The one in the middle comes up to someone sitting in the circle and asks: “Do you love your neighbor?” If he answers "yes", then everyone, with the exception of the two neighbors, jumps up and rushes to occupy some other chair from those that stand in a circle. The driver also tries to take possession of the chair, so that someone else will be in the center. If the answer is “no”, the driver asks: “Who do you love?” The person being asked can answer anything, for example: "All in red." Everyone who has a red color remains to sit, and the rest, together with the driver, rush to occupy other chairs. The one who is left without a chair becomes the driver.

21. The heart of the class

Cut out a large heart from red cardboard.

The teacher says, “Do you know that our class has its own heart? I want you to do something nice for each other now. Write your name on a piece of paper and fold it up so that everyone can then draw lots with someone else's name. If someone pulls out his own name, he must change the piece of paper.

Let everyone come up with a friendly and pleasant phrase about the one whose name he drew by lot, and write it down with a felt-tip pen on the “heart of the class”. The teacher should supervise what the participants are going to write down. Hang the heart on the wall so that it can be approached from all sides. The heart of the classroom can be a wonderful decoration of the room.

Training for high school students"Preparing for the exam"

Possible difficulties in passing the exam are mainly related to the peculiarities of the student's perception of the exam situation, with an insufficient level of development of self-control, with low stress resistance of students, with a lack of self-regulation skills. All these difficulties can be overcome through:

1) familiarization of graduates with the features and procedure of the Unified State Examination to increase interest in the results of the USE;

2) increased resistance to stress as a result of: a) familiarization with the main ways to reduce anxiety in a stressful situation; b) increasing self-confidence, in their abilities;

3) development of self-control skills based on internal reserves.

These tasks can be solved with the help of our proposed program for the formation of psychological readiness for the exam. When developing the program, special attention was paid to the following points:

Creation in the classroom of conditions for updating the subjective experience of students and for complicating and enriching this experience;

The organic relationship of the information that is offered to students with the emotions and feelings caused by this information;

Careful attitude to the personality of each student, providing an atmosphere of psychological safety for group members.

The program is designed to work with 11th graders in study groups of 10-12 people. Most of the methods described in the program are more or less well-known psychological games, exercises, techniques modified to solve the tasks.

Lessons have a specific structure. Each session starts with a warm-up. This is a short, dynamic exercise that aims to increase the group's energy. This is followed by a presentation of the topic, that is, a brief explanation of what will be discussed in the lesson and why it is important. The purpose of the presentation is to interest students. Then informing takes place: the message of the necessary information, which must be played and reinforced, which happens in the content part. The lesson ends with reflection (discussing the lesson with students).

By chance there is an ignoramus who does not know this. He makes inventions.” This scientist was born in Germany in the city of Ulm, which is considered to be the “City of Mathematicians”. Predilection for the exact sciences and music to the detriment of other disciplines caused negative feedback about his abilities from teachers. 9 years of his work at the Federal Patent Office became extremely fruitful, where he created the famous theories of physics, which brought him world fame, the Nobel Prize (Albert Einstein).

The peasant needs to be transported across the river wolf, goat and cabbage. But the boat is such that only a peasant can fit in it, and with him either one wolf, or one goat, or one cabbage. But if you leave the wolf with the goat, then the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave the goat with the cabbage, then the goat will eat the cabbage. How did the peasant transport his cargo?

Solution 1.: It is clear that we have to start with a goat. The peasant, having transported the goat, returns and takes the wolf, which he transports to the other side, where he leaves him, but he takes and carries the goat back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Then, returning, he carries a goat, and the crossing ends happily. Solution 2: First, the farmer again transports a goat. But the second one can take the cabbage, take it to the other side, leave it there and return the goat to the first bank. Then transport the wolf to the other side, return for the goat and again take it to the other side.

Koschei was delighted: “I will give poison number 10, and Ivan the Fool will not be able to escape! And I myself will drink the poison that Ivanushka the Fool will bring me, I will drink it with my tenth and be saved!

On the appointed day, both opponents met at the agreed place. They honestly exchanged mugs and drank what was in them. It turned out that Koschei died, but Ivan the Fool remained alive! How did it happen?

Ivanushka gave Kashchei plain water, and it turned out that Kashchei drank poison from the 10th spring. Before the duel, Ivanushka himself drank poison from any one source and it turned out that he washed down the poison with Kashcheev 10, and as a result, this poison was neutralized ..

271. You are in the cabin of an ocean liner at anchor. At midnight, the water was 4 m below the porthole and rose half a meter per hour. If this speed doubles every hour, how long will it take the water to reach the porthole?

The water will never reach the porthole because the liner rises with the water.

Correct answer

272. A train leaves Moscow for Vladivostok every day. Also every day a train leaves Vladivostok for Moscow. The move takes 10 days. If you left Vladivostok for Moscow, how many trains going in the opposite direction will you meet during the trip?

At first glance, it may seem that during the trip we will meet ten trains. But this is not so: we will meet not only those ten trains that left Moscow after our departure, but also those that were already on the way by the time of our departure. This means that we will meet not ten, but twenty trains.

Correct answer

273. There is an easy and cheap way to travel, which, surprisingly, no one uses. As you know, the Earth rotates around its axis, and quite quickly (in just 24 hours, each point of the earth's equator travels approximately 40,000 km - a path equal to the length of the equator). So, instead of going somewhere by train or flying by plane, or sailing on a ship, it is enough for us to rise high above the earth in a balloon or airship and stay there motionless for some time. During this time, the Earth will turn to us with another part of its surface and it will only be necessary to descend to the right place. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what is wrong with it?

This way of travel is, of course, unsuitable. The atmosphere, attracted by the Earth, rotates with it. And even if the atmosphere were motionless, then, having risen into it from the rotating Earth, we would continue the earth's movement by inertia for some time. In addition, if the atmosphere were motionless, and the Earth would continue to rotate in it (and fast enough: see the condition of the problem), then in this case the greatest hurricane would not stop raging on Earth, which would make impossible not only any travel but also human life itself.

Correct answer

274. Is it possible to boil water on an open flame in a paper box?

The question of the problem, at first glance, seems very strange, because if you hold paper over a fire, it will definitely catch fire. But the fact is that the boiling point of water is much lower than the ignition temperature of paper. Since the heat from the flame is taken away by the boiling water, the paper cannot reach the required temperature and therefore does not ignite. It is only necessary that the paper is thick enough, otherwise the water will simply tear it and pour out onto the flame. A cardboard box is quite suitable for boiling water. The same explanation underlies such a phenomenon as a fireproof piece of paper tightly wound around a metal rod (or steel nail) and brought into the flame of a candle. The heat of the fire will be taken away by the rod, preventing the paper from heating up to the desired temperature and catching fire.

Correct answer

275. In one class, the students were divided into two groups. Some had to always tell only the truth, while others - only a lie. All students in the class wrote an essay on a free topic, which had to end with the phrase: "Everything written here is true" or "Everything written here is a lie." There were 17 truth-tellers and 18 liars in the class. How many essays turned out with a statement about the veracity of what was written?

All the truth-seekers rightly claimed that everything they wrote was true, but all the liars falsely claimed that everything they wrote was true. Thus, all 35 essays contained a statement about the veracity of what was written.

How much is 12?
- 40 rubles.

Okay give me 120.
- Please, 60 rubles from you.

What did the visitor buy?

Room for an apartment.

Correct answer

278. A bottle with a cork costs 1 p. 10 k. A bottle is more expensive than a cork by 1 p. How much is the bottle and how much is the cork?

At first glance, it may seem that a bottle costs 1 ruble, and a cork 10 kopecks, but then a bottle is 90 kopecks more expensive than a cork, and not 1 ruble, as by convention. In fact, a bottle costs 1 r. 05 k., and the cork costs 5 k.

Correct answer

279. Katya lives on the fourth floor, and Olya lives on the second. Rising to the fourth floor, Katya overcomes 60 steps. How many steps does Olya need to climb to get to the second floor?

At first glance, it may seem that Olya walks 30 steps - half as many as Katya, since she lives two times lower than her. Actually it is not. When Katya goes up to the fourth floor, she overcomes 3 flights of stairs between floors. This means that there are 20 steps between two floors: 60: 3 = 20. Olya climbs from the first floor to the second, therefore, she overcomes 20 steps.

Correct answer

280. How to pour out exactly half of a mug, ladle, pan and any other dish of regular cylindrical shape, filled to the brim with water, without using any measuring instruments?

Any dish of the correct cylindrical shape, when viewed from the side, is a rectangle. As you know, the diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts. Similarly, a cylinder is bisected by an ellipse. From a cylindrical dish filled with water, water must be poured until the surface of the water on one side reaches the corner of the dish, where its bottom meets the wall, and on the other side, the edge of the dish through which it is poured. In this case, exactly half of the water will remain in the dishes:

Correct answer

281. Three hens lay three eggs in three days. How many eggs will 12 hens lay in 12 days?

You can immediately answer that 12 hens will lay 12 eggs in 12 days. However, it is not. If three hens lay three eggs in three days, then one hen lays one egg in the same three days. Therefore, in 12 days she will lay: 12: 3 = 4 eggs. If there are 12 hens, then in 12 days they will lay: 12 4 = 48 eggs.

Correct answer

282. Name two numbers in which the number of digits is equal to the number of letters that make up the name of each of these numbers.

283. "I guarantee," said the salesman in the pet store, "that this parrot will repeat every word it hears." A delighted buyer bought a miracle bird, but when he came home, he found that the parrot was as mute as a fish. However, the seller did not lie. How is this possible? (The task is a joke.)

The parrot can indeed repeat every word it hears, but it is deaf and does not hear a single word.

Correct answer

284. There is a candle and a kerosene lamp in the room. What will you light first when you enter this room in the evening?

Of course, a match, because without it you cannot light a candle or a kerosene lamp. The question of the task is ambiguous, because it can be understood either as a choice between a candle and a kerosene lamp, or as a sequence in lighting something (first a match, then - from it - everything else).

Correct answer

285. Half of half of a number is equal to half. What is this number?

Correct answer

286. Over time, man will definitely visit Mars. Sasha Ivanov is a man. Consequently, Sasha Ivanov will eventually visit Mars. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what is wrong with it?

The reasoning is wrong. It is not necessary that Sasha Ivanov eventually visit Mars. The external correctness of this reasoning is created due to the use of one word ("man") in it in two different senses: in the broad (abstract representative of humanity) and in the narrow (concrete, given, this particular person).

Correct answer

287. It is often said that one must be born a composer, or an artist, or a writer, or a scientist. Is this true? Is it really necessary to be born as a composer (artist, writer, scientist)? (The task is a joke.)

Of course, a composer, as well as an artist, writer or scientist, must be born, because if a person is not born, then he will not be able to compose music, draw pictures, write novels or make scientific discoveries. This joke problem is based on the ambiguity of the question: "Do you really have to be born?" This question can be understood literally: is it necessary to be born in order to engage in any type of activity; and also this question can be understood in a figurative sense: is the talent of a composer (artist, writer, scientist) innate, given by nature, or is it acquired during life by hard work.

Correct answer

288. In order to see, it is not at all necessary to have eyes. We see without the right eye. We also see without the left. And since we have no other eyes besides the left and right eyes, it turns out that neither eye is necessary for vision. Is this statement correct? If not, what is wrong with it?

The reasoning is, of course, wrong. Its external correctness is based on the almost imperceptible exclusion of one more option, which in this reasoning also had to be considered. This is an option when not a single eye sees. It was he who was omitted: “Without the right eye we see, without the left too, which means that the eyes are not necessary for vision.” The correct statement should be: “Without the right eye we see, without the left we also see, but without two together we cannot see, which means that we see either with one eye, or the other, or both together, but we cannot see without eyes, which, thus necessary for vision."

Correct answer

289. The parrot lived less than 100 years and can only answer yes and no questions. How many questions does he need to ask to find out his age?

At first glance, it may seem that a parrot can be asked up to 99 questions. In fact, you can get by with a much smaller number of questions. Let's ask him like this: "Are you over 50 years old?" If he answers "yes", then his age is from 51 to 99 years; if he answers “no”, then he is from 1 year to 50 years old. The number of options for his age after the first question is halved. The next similar question: “Are you more (you can ask - less) 25 years old?”, “Are you more (less than) 75 years old?” (depending on the answer to the first question) reduces the number of options by four times, etc. As a result, the parrot needs to be asked only 7 questions.

Correct answer

290. One man who fell into captivity tells the following: “My dungeon was in the upper part of the castle. After many days of effort, I managed to break one of the bars in the narrow window. It was possible to crawl through the resulting hole, but the distance to the ground was too great to simply jump down. In the corner of the dungeon, I found a rope forgotten by someone. However, it turned out to be too short to be able to go down it. Then I remembered how one wise man lengthened a blanket that was too short for him, cutting off part of it from below and sewing it on top. So I hurried to split the rope in half and re-tie the two resulting parts. Then it became long enough, and I safely went down it. How did the narrator manage to do this?

The narrator divided the rope not across, as it most likely might seem, but along it, making two ropes of the same length out of it. When he tied the two pieces together, the rope became twice as long as it was at first.

Correct answer

There are posters with heterograms, pictograms, drudles in the hall. During the game, the audience tries to solve them.

The competition involves two teams of high school students of seven people each.

The gong sounds. The leader takes the stage.

Leading. Good evening, gentlemen, high school students. I am glad to welcome you to the Botany erudite game. Of course, you are already used to the fact that not only people who study flora are now called botanists. Youth jargon gave this word a broader concept. A botanist in your language is an educated, enthusiastic, inquisitive person. I'm sure there are many of you. And now we will have a real opportunity to verify this. We proceed to the selection of participants in the game. Lettermix.

The audience is shown signs on which the letters of two words are written. The one from the audience who quickly makes up a new word from them is invited to one of the teams.

For example:

Wind + lot (helicopter)

Bundle + crowbar (bulb)

Slava + catfish (dump truck)

Paula + neon (Napoleon)

Sword + peony (champion)

Rat + var (goalkeeper)

Keta + cancer (rocket)

Sleigh + dot (stadium)

Cancer + mud (picture)

Or + crackle (orchestra)

Silt + desk (palette)

Act + summer (patty)

Salo + tank (sausage)

Pas + duck (cabbage)

Leading. The teams take their places. Each team at the stand has a sash, on which orders for winning in each round will be attached. Thus, it will be possible to constantly track the real picture of the game and the success of each team.

And now we are starting the first round, which is called “Time Matter”.

It sounds like a musical beat.

Leading. I will be asking the teams questions for three minutes. You must answer them quickly. If the team does not have an answer, they waste no time saying the word "next" and they will be asked the next question. The team with the most correct answers in 3 minutes wins.

The counting commission counts the number of correct answers and names the winner of the first round. To the sounds of fanfare, the first order of connoisseurs is attached to the sash.

Leading. The second round is called "Do You Believe?" The teams were given two plates with the words "yes" or "no". I will offer you five questions-versions. If the team agrees with what I say, then they raise a “yes” sign, and if they do not agree, with the word “no”. The counting commission will count all the correct options and determine the winner of the second round.

The Colossus of Rhodes is the tallest wonder in the world. (No. Pyramid of Cheops.)

- In Kievan Rus, cabbage gardens were called cabbage gardens. (Yes)

- In medicine, the diagnosis "Munchausen Syndrome" is made to a patient who likes to lie. (No. For those who love, to be treated.)

The procedure for awarding the order is repeated.

Leading. Let's move on to the third round - "Sing along." Now the teams will have to strain not only their brains, but also their voices, since the answer to my questions will be friendly singing.

- A song about a piece of land where ugly but kind people live. ("Island of bad luck".)

- A song about a long journey of a little girl in a bright hat. (Song from the movie Little Red Riding Hood).

- A song about animals that know how to enjoy life. (Song about bears from the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus".)

- A song about eared grass mowers. (Song about hares from the movie "Diamond Hand".)

Presentation of another order.

Leading. We move on to the fourth round: "Logic is the sister of talent." Teams are offered logical tasks, and while they solve them, our fans have the opportunity to show off their talent and earn prizes.

Spectators guess drudles, pictograms, heterograms placed on posters in the hall.

Tasks for teams:

—- Divide the number 12 on paper into two equal parts so that half of this number is the number 7. (Divide Roman XII with a horizontal line.)

—- If it rains at 12 o'clock at night, can we expect it to be sunny in 72 hours? (No. After 72 hours it will be 12 midnight again, and at night the sun does not shine.)

“Two people entered the room and saw one killing the other. After watching, they calmly discussed it and calmly left. Why? (These two admired I. Repin's painting "Ivan the Terrible Kills His Son" at the exhibition.)

The results of the fourth round are summed up.

Leading. Fifth round - "Associations". Each of the team members will now receive a pencil and a piece of paper. The captains will come up to me and pull out a card with the word written on it. The task of the players and captains is to write on their sheets of associations to the word that they pull out. Two minutes are allotted for this competition, after which we will compare the records of captains and teams. The more words written by team members that match what the captain wrote, the more likely it is to win.

One team is offered the word "Botany", the other - "History".

While the teams are working, the audience is offered a charade:

Try to sing just two notes - And in front of you is a part of something. (Do - la)

The viewer who guessed the charade is rewarded, and they listen to the association options of both teams, then sum up.

Host, And this competition is for captains. Here are the plates with the answer options - A, B and C. I will ask questions and give three possible answers. Captains, having chosen their option, will raise the appropriate sign. The counting committee will mark the number of correct answers.

- The dance of the little swans from P. Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" is occupied by:

A - 4 ballerinas +

B - 6 ballerinas

B —- 8 ballerinas

—- "Volvo", the name of the car, translated from Latin means:

B - in Athens +

The results of the round are summed up and the winner is awarded.

Leading. And, finally, the final round of today's Nerds meeting is the Personal Opinion contest. The captains leave the hall so as not to hear what will happen on the stage. I will ask the teams seven questions each. The Counting Board will record your answers. Then we will invite the captains and ask them the same questions. In this case, it is necessary to keep within one minute and not repeat the answers of the team. The captain who completes the task in the allotted time will win.

1. Where is always fun?

2. What was taken out of the dining room?

3. What are the children waiting for?

4. Who swears loudly?

5. Where did you find the counselor?

The results of the round and the final results of the competition are summed up.

Leading. The game is over, orders and prizes have been awarded. The guys proved that they are the most advanced, most erudite, real "nerds". We welcome them again and look forward to meeting you again!
