Rules, in case you are new are this: **DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!** Post your responses to the questions and when there have been 50 responses, I will double the value of the response to each question (to come up with the Survey Says). You want to post what you think the most popular answer will be. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points like the game show. After 50 responses have been posted (including my own, since I can’t keep from playing this myself), I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and 500 possible points; **Diomedes** , the defending champion, won with 426 points. Results of the last game are [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9278118&postcount=60). Good luck! 1. Name a famous trumpeter. 2. What is the most popular means of communication, other than face-to-face? 3. Name a language spoken in at least two countries. 4. Name a country with a king. 5. Name an American writer. 6. Name a Spanish painter. 7. What was the best movie of the 1960s? 8. Name a President of a country other than the United States. 9. Name a war that occurred in Israel. 10.
