Here is another in a series of Family Feud/Trivia games. They seem to be popular. The rules have appeared in each thread, so you may know them be heart. Or you may have never played before. In either case, here they are:
Rule # 1: DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!
Rule # 2:** DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST! **
Rule # 3: Please post your numbered responses to the questions only (it is not necessary to quote the questions as long as your answers are numbered).
Rule # 4: There is no rule # 4
Rule # 5: **DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST! **
Rule # 6: Please don’t get all fancy with your coding. A simple numbered list of your answers is fine and, in fact, preferable.
When there have been 50 responses, I will give each response two points. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 50 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points.
These questions have been gleaned from this thread (and thank you to Spoons for thinking to do that, and to all the posters in that thread for their ideas)
Name one of Shakespeare’s plays.
Name a country with less land area than Switzerland.
Name something people typically eat while dieting.
Name a holiday traditionally spent with family
Name a high school (secondary school) subject unpopular with most students.
Name a pop song (any decade) that mentions a dog or dogs in the title.
Name an age at which someone is considered to be ‘old’.
Name a boy band.
Name the day of the week most people do their grocery shopping.
Thanks for the new game, but if an effort is being made to hit more “general knowledge” questions and fewer “pop culture” questions, I think a lot of these missed the mark.

I disagree - only two questions involve a familiarity with pop culture. Unless you consider Shakespeare, geography, and marine life pop culture.

Maybe pop culture was the wrong phrase to use. But at least half of these questions require just as much specialized knowledge as knowing another city present in the Simpsons universe.
It just seems like a fine line to make a distinction that pop culture=bad question while esoteric grade school trivia=good question.
