Family Feud Part IX

Family Feud Part IX

As Hostile Dialect has said he's a bit tuckered out to run a new Family Feud game, I thought I'd run with it myself.

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 1000 possible points; Tamex, the defending champion, won with 464 points. Results of the last game are here.

1. Which day of the week do you watch the most television?

2. How long is a "long movie"? (answers in minutes)

3. Name a type of pasta.

4. At what age did you learn how to ride a bike?

5. Other than work, name a place you go at least twice a week.

6. Name a character from a video game.

7. Name a popular vacation destination west of the Mississippi.

8. Aside from Google (and the SDMB), name a website you visit everyday.

9. What is the most popular Olympic sport?

10. What was the last thing you had repaired on your car?

I don't understand this criticism, Family Feud does questions like these (and the question in Family Feud VIII) all the time.

It's a bit different, though, as I understand it. On the television show Family Feud, the people being polled to determine the most popular answers to the question aren't, simultaneously, acting as contestants trying to predict the most popular answer to the question. They're different groups.

So now here, in this game, there's a tension between "What would I actually answer?", "What do I think people would actually answer?", "What do I think people would think people would actually answer?", and so on, which I don't believe exists in the television show. But I suppose if everyone interprets the questions always as "What do you think most non-contestants would say to this?", then it all works out consistently.
