Family Feud Part VIII

[Hostile Dialect]

Rules, in case you are new are this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

Post your responses to the questions and when there have been 50 responses, I will double the value of the response to each question (to come up with the Survey Says).
You want to post what you think the most popular answer will be. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points like the game show. After 50 responses have been posted (including my own, since I can't keep from playing this myself), I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and 500 possible points; Diomedes, the defending champion, won with 426 points. Results of the last game are here.

Good luck!

Sorry. The few times I've watched Family Feud, it seemed like they intentionally scraped from the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of contestant IQ, so I thought Dopers would like a bit more of an intellectual challenge. And I figured everybody could name one trumpeter (everyone's heard of Louis Armstrong, I think), one country with a monarchy, one American writer, one Spanish painter (everyone's heard of Picasso, right?), one 1960s movie, one foreign president, and one college major. I will concede that I may have overestimated the average American's exposure to Spanish art, and the Israeli war thing was probably too obscure. The foreign president thing might have been a bit much, but Pervez Musharraf has been in the news a lot, so that's why I thought of it. And I have enjoyed hearing Dopers' answers to my questions.

I think I have the most interest in running these games, tabulating the scores, and formatting them in high-to-low-score format, though, so if y'all like, you can all email (not PM) me one or two questions each and I'll use the first eight or ten I get in the next game. Sound good to everyone?

Don't worry about factual errors (although, FTR, the UK does not have a king; Vicente Fox is not the current President of Mexico; and Branford Marsalis plays the sax, while his brother Wynton plays trumpet). The point is to try to score as many points as possible. You could put in a prime minister instead of a president and a misspelled Australian footballer instead of a Spanish painter for all I care.
