I can’t believe how hard it was for me to think of a movie in the '60s. I am younger than I thought I was.
I’m pretty sure I won this. No need to tally the scores. NEXT!
Before I do any counting, good luck again to everyone who played, and thanks for playing. I would also like to remind everyone that I am still accepting submissions for questions for Family Feud Part IX by email (not PM!). If there’s enough interest, I might split off a Trivial Feud game for harder, more serious, searchable questions like the ones in this thread.
Two enchiladas, one strong IPA and seemingly about an hour later:
Hooray! Counting’s over! OK, here comes the scoring rubric (by responses, not points). One-entry-only responses don’t score points, so they’re not in the lists. Any responses where it’s reasonably obvious that the different posters meant the same thing (different spellings of the same President, or England/UK/Great Britain for having a king, or different names for the same Israeli war) were considered the same response. “Pass” was considered a response.

ETA: Whew, shit, that was a lot of work. Kudos to SSG Schwartz and anyone else who’s run this. I’ll be happy to do it again, but unless someone wants to take over for a little bit or volunteer to pick up some of the slack for the next game, I’m going to take a little break. Thanks again for playing, everyone!
well, at least I wasn’t last.
when’s the next game?
I’ll run the next game, just give me a few minutes to come up with questions.

Woot! #17! Much better than 2nd to last.
nevermind (The OP said not to read the whole thread before you post…)
I won? Really? Yay
I had a lot of trouble coming up with a country that had a king (as opposed to a queen).
Um, ouch… I’ll have to think more like the general public next time instead of the first thing that pops into my head.
my response in bold
What is the best format for the responses? Do you like the question repeated? Do you like the answers numbered? Does it matter? Maybe the instructions should be amended let us know, making your scoring job easier. Just a thought.
Since you asked, the biggest things that respondents can do to make (my method of) scoring easier are numbering their answers, making their answers stick out, and minimizing the line spaces between answers. So this is great:
And so is this:
But this is a little harder to score:
Thanks for asking! I’m thinking of starting a Trivial Feud game fairly soon with more questions like these ones, since it turns out that Feud Tucker is a more temporary condition than I thought.
