Return of the Feud, number 7. [GAME OVER]

I managed to get #9 correct by going through the ZIP codes MA to MT; it helped that in the pre-email era I lived in a couple of M states and sent snail mail to friends who lived in several others.

I’m hoping for at least half of these to be right - I’m pretty sure of 4

I’m pretty sure I got five right, unless they changed the size of basketball hoops recently. Elvis was just in the news a lot because of the anniversary of his death, and I thought the last three were gimmes, or conchs.

I also want to know how you bounce a cranberry before you harvest it!

47

I totally blew the basketball hoop one, because I was thinking of the height. (And following the Feud strategy of “Don’t overthink it: whatever first pops into your mind has a good chance of being the most popular answer, even if it isn’t correct.”)

48

It looks like 29 replies so far; are we going to get to 50 any time soon?

49

Yeah, most popular is the key, but overthinking it is a killer too. If I had thought that most people would not know who the last Whig president was I would have to deliberately not pick Fillmore and try to decide who the most likely wrong answer was :slight_smile:

I assumed the question was asking for points of crossing (locations), not acts of crossing.

53

That was how I took it, also.

Non-American, doubt I’ll get any of these but I’ll have a stab

  1. How many legal Mexico - United States border crossings are there?

  2. Before being harvested and sold, an individual cranberry must bounce how many inches high to make sure it’s not too ripe?

  3. What is the diameter (in inches) of an NBA regulation basketball hoop?

  4. How old was Elvis when he died?

  5. What was the first Google doodle?

  6. How many minutes can a sloth hold its breath?

  7. The biggest brain on earth belongs to the adult male sperm whale. It can weigh up to _____ pounds!
