Abstract
Quantitative hypothetical ethics problems have been formulated and applied at the freshman level. The problems are of multiple sequential parts conducted over more than one homework assignment period. The outcome of each part is determined among several possibilities "blind" to the students. Students are asked to solve ensuing problem chapters based on the outcomes. An effort has been made to include some sense of jeopardy on the part of the student writing the solution.
