Thanks for running this and especially for scoring it, **Rebo**! I had fun thinking up the questions as well as answering them. Huh, though, I really thought it would do better than this–the questions weren’t that hard. LOL They weren’t nearly as hard as some of the 80’s and beyond specific stuff was for me, let me tell ya. Many of the possible answers spanned generations even (like Lassie). I can’t believe how many people answered Clarabelle for the -puppet- other than Howdy, though!! That was Bob Keeshan under the Clarabelle make-up there for a while, btw–the guy who went on to become Captain Kangaroo. And he was on the air until into the 80s, so many should have known him. Yeah, I knew Green Jeans was gonna be number one, but had to go with Bunny Rabbit. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Baker] I’m still a little fuzzy on how scores are calculated. Can you give me an explanation? What will the morning feud be about? [/QUOTE] [quote=OP] Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. In this case, each match is equal to the matches x 2.17 (because there are only 46 responses.) (100/46=2.17) Normally (with 50 entries) they are worth 2 points each. For example, I answered Etch-a-sketch on #5, and it got me 4.34 points because there were 2 matches. 2 x 2.17=4.34. Is that more clear? Tomorrow’s Feud is by **Happy Lendervedder** , and is all about Obama. ---
