If people are willing to just slap the table or yell buzz, then all
you need is three people (one to read, and two to play). Buzzers are
obviously better, but by no means are they absolutely necessary.
[On the flip side, Penn has had practices this year with 20 people
all yelling buzz. It can get a bit chaotic, especially on bonuses,
but it works.]
