Interpreting Your Score

20-29 Jackpot Winner!!
Yours is an ideal program! You are well aware of the risks involved with working with your volunteers and you have designed effective strategies to address the risks.

30-50 A Good Bluffer Luck has been on your side!
Although some cards are in your favor, it may only be a matter of time before you are dealt a bad hand. And, it only takes one bad hand to loose the game. Are you always certain which cards are wild?

51-60 High Stakes Gambler
Presently your program has little to win but much to lose! You hold a lot of wild cards in your hand, and losses could be enormous. Better learn to stack the deck a little better.
