| Curling will be a medal event for the
                        first time ever at the Nagano Games. The
                        sport developed from a 16th-century
                        Scottish game played by sliding rocks
                        across frozen rivers and ponds. 
                        Question: Each team is made up of four
                        people. One person slides a stone down
                        the ice, and two of the remaining members
                        smooth the ice in front of the moving
                        stone with vigorous broom strokes. What
                        exactly is the goal of the sport of
                        curling? 
                          
                        
                            
                            - To slide your stones the farthest
                                down the ice
  
                                
                            - To sweep the ice as much as
                                possible with your brooms
  
                                
                            - To get your stones as close as
                                possible to the center of a round
                                target
