Object of the game:  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

Rules:

1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. Maximum 50 entrants, and I’ll score it when I have time.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: see below

Formatting rules:  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

Scoring:  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer.

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: No googling on questions 1 and 2.

1. How many top ten hits worldwide did Elvis have? No googling on this question.
2. How old was Elvis when he died? No googling on this question.
3. Name an Elvis song from the 50s.
4. Name an Elvis song from the 60s.
5. Name an Elvis song from the 70s.
6. Name a good Elvis movie.
7. Name a bad Elvis movie.
8. Name a female co-star in an Elvis movie.
9. Name an artist or band who was influenced by Elvis’ music.
10. Other than Graceland, name a famous named estate in the U.S.

Elvis was just a little bit before my time, and I was not much of a fan. I am expecting a low score.

#6 answered under protest, as there are no “good” Elvis movies. Still, it **is** about matching everyone else more than giving the right answer.

Um, **Swampy**? I think you meant the answer for question 1 to be the answer for question 2.

It’s bizarre. Elvis was 42 when he died but enough of us have guessed he was 45 that that’s going to score better than the correct answer.
