Family Feud: By the Numbers

[twickster]

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

Post your responses to the questions. When there have been 50 responses, I will give each response two points. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 50 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are 12 questions and a maximum of 1200 possible points.

Format for your answers: You don't need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

(You'll note a certain theme to the following -- and because I couldn't decide which two to jettison, we're playing a full dozen questions).

If you don't know an answer, guess! If you pass, you're guaranteed to get zero points -- but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you'll get points, whether the answer is "right" or not!
