11. Not sure whether a song hitting the top spot in six countries counts as one or six hits, so I’m going with a generic “pretty big number”.

12. I know this one! He was born the same year my mother was, and died a few days before I started college.

4,6,7. Hope **vivalostwages** plays this **Feud**!

Really. As soon as I posted, the number of people guessing it went from two out of eleven to eleven out of eleven.

Dolores, I wonder if there is some way you could block the answers that people give until the feud is full?

This is one of the problems with this type of feud:

I can’t google #1 or #2, \*\*but \*\*when I looked up “[Elvis Presley](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley)” in wikipedia to pick songs from the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s (sorry, but I knew \*some \*things about Elvis, but not specific release dates - I needed to look those up), one of the first things you can see is his age at death (right at the end of the 3rd paragraph).

Legitimately looking for one answer can inadvertently give you another.

That condition existed before the age was told. there were a variety of answers early, only ons after.

What I did was type in my answers to the first two questions before I worked on any other questions. I stuck with those original answers even after finding out they were wrong. It’s only a game after all.

Hey! My age guess is genuine! Also my guess for #1, which seems to be laughably low. And King Creole really is a good movie - you should check it out.

This may have been the shortest time it’s ever taken me to fill out a Feud. I have no idea whether that will bode well for me or not.

I like to believe the honor system works. Am I being naive?

I believe in the honor system, too. I put the no-google questions first, hoping that would be enough.

I’ve been running these a long time, and overall the honor system works very well.
