<<Economics majors, who have a right to get
economics questions first,>>
I just want to
call people's attention to this line. Roll this
assertion around in your heads a bit. Is it self-evident?
Is it well-founded? Is it even true?

*****Edmund, shut up. I think Matt--if i may take the liberty
of attempting to interpret his meaning--meant that a
well-written pyramidal tossup *should* be first answerable by
someone with specialty (major) in an area, then by
someone with less experience (taken a class or two), and
finally by someone with passing knowledge (maybe read a
book about it). A pyramidal question is not only
pyramidal in the way in which its structure dispenses
facts; it is also pyramidal in the "target audience" it
caters to at each point in the question.
