11. A unique distinction – among the listed regulars, doesn’t have his own _Wikipedia_ page, so he’s arguably “least popular” by an objective measure.

12. I know some people who regularly play these **Feud** threads love the sport, but its lack of coverage on NBC’s “family of networks” suggests few Americans care about it.

13. I’m assuming any film he directed and is [listed on this page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_hitchcock_filmography) is a “relevant answer”.

14. I’d have said [_Rafflesia_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafflesia) if the question called for “least appropriate flower for Mother’s Day”. However, I went with a blossom some people like, but that is relatively obscure.

Heh. The one Central American country not specifically excluded in the OP.

It’ll be interestng to see if such answers as “pole vault” and “shot put” are accepted – while they’re both Olympic _events_, they’re part of the _sport_ of track and field (or athletics, as it’s known in many places).

What can I say? I’m a Doper. I like being difficult 🙂

I was thinking about “track and field/athletics” vs. pole vault or whatever as the name of the sport, but I figure 1 medal = 1 sport.

I think I tied my brain in a knot on this one. We’re trying to guess the least popular answer, yet still trying to match other people, right? (In other words, not like the one where we were trying for unique answers?) So sort of like a Bizarro feud, or Opposite Day, right?

[/QUOTE]

The way I read it, you’re supposed to pick the least popular _correct_ answer for the question, keeping in mind that everybody else is going to try to do the same thing–so the most obvious “least popular” answer will likely end up as the _most_ popular answer. So there’s more than a bit of psychology involved with picking an answer.

This is tough! If you pick the most likely answer thinking that no one will pick it - they had the same thought!

I hope nobody thinks of rutabagas. 😉
