Obviously.

Gonzomax, that was rude.

We all play by the honor system. If you don’t believe that to be the case, then just don’t play.

It would obviously be easy to cheat at any of these feuds. But what would be the point? I’ve always assumed everyone is playing legit.

FWIW, I put 42 and didn’t look at the thread first.

How about this: while I was only a kid when Elvis died, I read Hitchhiker’s Guide in my teenage formative years. Once I’d heard that he was 42, it stuck with me in a way that 39 or 23 or 47 wouldn’t have. A lot of Hitchhiker fans on this board, just sayin’.

47

I remembered that he was in his forties, and then the number 42 popped into my head, so I went with it. That’s how I make all my decisions.

48

Annoyingly, I also originally thought of the age of 42. Then for some reason I thought that was John Lennon’s age when he died (it wasn’t he was 40) and I didn’t think they had died at the same age. So I decided that 45 was a round number that a lot of people would guess.

6&7 - Weren’t they all pretty bad?

Not at all. Before he told the answer there were were 11 answers. Two picked 42.
After there were 18, 17 picked 42.
Sorry but that is revealing. I play an honor system. I never look. But I can see.

51

It’s just a coincidence. As I noted, most people had been picking 45 as Presley’s age at death at the time I posted. So if people were going to cheat, they wouldn’t have picked 42 - they would have picked 45 because that was a better scoring answer. It wasn’t until several people picked 42 that it moved into first place.

52

I think that’s just coincidence. I play an honor system, too, and was just able to be successful with an educated guess. I think most, if not all, of the people here play honestly. What’s the point of playing if you don’t?

53

The only way to prevent cheating in Feuds would be for people to PM me their answers, and that’s just a big pain in the ass.

Let’s drop it, shall we?

What number are we up to?

ETA: 30.

54

I thought the King’s age at death was commonly known.

55

Where is everybody?

56

They found a new place to dwell.

57

I probably know less about The King than anyone here (as my answer to #1 demonstrates), but Elvis’s age at his death is the factoid that gets repeated all the time. I couldn’t tell you how old Marilyn Monroe was when she died, or anyone else of significance.

It would be stupid to cheat with only a few responses. It would only pay to do so if you were one of the last people to post a reply so you can then get all the top responses to ALL of the questions.
