> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > We’ve also had people already answer Jack Byrnes and Vito Corleone, both of whom were played by Robert DeNiro. Do we combine them? Naw, the category asks about the role, not the actor. OTOH, I probably would merge “Cosby” with “Huxtable”. ---

Friendly advice, **brujaja** : When a question asks for a percentage, always round at least to the nearest 5, if not to the nearest 10. Even if the correct answer really is 65.2%, nobody else is going to say that, so it’s not going to earn any points. If you had said, say, 65% instead, then you would have gotten a few matches. ---

**Chronos:** Oh, yeah good advice. I went to a site with a breakdown of child living situations vis a vis their biological fathers and added up the percentages of all qualifying situations. But, duh. I’m sure you’re right. Truth be told, I’ve never quite gotten past my original (mis)impression that you are meant to say the first thing that comes to mind with feud questions. Heh, hence the “tool time” answer. I actually had to wrack my brains for it, too. ---
