Q: What is the Teacher Initialization Input Form?

A: The teacher initialization input forms allows a teacher to customize
the game and incorporate his/her students into the game suspect list.

Q: Why must Gender Typing be performed if we know the suspect’s
gender?

A: The gender typing procedure must still be performed because in
“real life” identification situations these tests are performed blind in
the lab with each sample identified only by a number, which allows for better
sample tracking and helps prevent sample tampering or prejudice.

Q: Why do the procedures have to be performed in a specific
order?

A: Procedures should be performed in the desired order for cost
efficiency, i.e., the most inexpensive test should be performed when there
is the greatest number of suspects.

Q: How do I know the correct steps for each procedure?

A: All scientific information regarding the game and the procedures
can be located in the procedure manual.
