> [@Rebo](#): > > Yes you can get a zero. Answers that are only worth 1 point in the answers list, i.e. no matches, get no score at all. Trying to go for zero is not within the spirit of the game. To quote another classic comedy: “(annoyed grunt)”! ---

I _definitely_ shouldn’t have changed my answer for #10. Still, this feud was **dyn-o-miiiite!** ---

**Dolores** , for all of your hard work on this (wonderfully) endless parade of Feuds, you deserve to be named first, I’d say. Thanks. This was fun. ---

> [@Rebo](#): > > Trying for zero is not how you play the game. So no zero. Sorry. Fair enough, but I wasn’t really going for a zero, I just expected one. They are all perfectly honest answers, and if anyone else had answered on British sitcoms we would have matched at least once or twice. I probably should have just sat it out though. ---

Thanks. A question: I went ahead and scored mine, but please tell me if this method is the way to do it: Find the total for your answer for a question and subtract one. Do this for all questions and sum. Multiply by 100. Divide by the number of contestants for your score. ---

Do this for all questions and sum. Multiply by 100. Divide by the number of contestants for your score. No. At least I don’t think so! I’m not sure what you come up with using your method! (The scoring is listed in the OP.) Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match (4 is listed in the answer post) that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. So let’s score your answers: 1. Cheers = 7 (listed at 6 matches, we add your answer in) 2. All in the Family = 24 3. Happy Days = 32 4. The Jeffersons = 20 5. M_A_S\*H = 20 6. Three’s Company = 4 7. I Love Lucy = 10 8. Don Knotts = 3 9. Not that there’s anything wrong with that = 2 10. Seinfeld = 1 (no score for no matches) Your score would be 7+24+32+20+20+4+10+3+2+0= 122 x 2.17 = 264.74 - somewhere around 30th place. Keep in mind that others would move places based on them matching you. (The 2.17 is 100/46 entrants) Clear? ---

Well, I started a response because I still don’t get it, but decided not to post, because I don’t want to waste your time on this trivial matter. But it’s just bugging me. Six people picked Cheers for question 1. That means I matched 5 other people. That’s why I subtract one. Why do you “add [my] answer in?” Seem to me that would mean seven people picked Cheers, which obviously isn’t the case. ---

In order to score you, I have to count your match too! So that’s a total of 7 matches. Right? You have to be included to get a score. Total matches are how the points work - not you matching 6 others. It’s not trivial! 😉 I’m betting lots of people don’t know how the scoring works either. I’m sorry I’m not explaining it very well. I’ll show you again in another Feud, with your real scores. ---

Suppose there was a feud with only one question, and only you and I were playing. We both give the same answer. That means I matched you for one match. Are you saying that I also matched myself? ---

No. It means there are a total of two matches, one for me and one for you. Which means we each get 4 points (if the points are worth 2 each.)
