Why not? In the real game, it’s a matter of how many people say it, not whether it’s “right” or “wrong.” Given Question 5, for instance, I don’t think any criterion other than “number of people who said it” is fair.

:smack:

Yes – sorry – I misread that as “since incorrect answers **don’t** count” – I guess because I had just looked at **Hugh Jass** ’s Trivial Feud game where the OP said he or she wasn’t counting incorrect answers. My bad.

[/QUOTE]

Oh baby again. I was thinking of the Treaty of Paris signed to end the American Revolution, and the one that Napoleon signed after suffering his defeat at Waterloo.

But according to Wikipedia there have been [TWENTY](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_paris) treaties signed in Paris called “The Treaty of Paris”, and a couple more called similar names like “Paris Peace Accords”. Whoa.

…which, now that I’ve Googled it, was titled _Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band_ by **Meco** from their album _Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk_, and it did indeed hit #1 on the pop charts in October, 1977.

Fun-kay.
