Wow–eight out of ten top answers, second best on the other two, and I didn’t even place in the top half??? Tough game!

Woo Hoo! I can’t believe I won that one–I didn’t feel confident about a few of my answers (like Io), though it looks like there were several conchs.

Thanks Dolores and Scuba Ben for the game!

That’s it. No pie for you! 😉

Elephant? Elephant? :rolleyes: (mutters off in disgust)

Thanks, again, **Dolores**! And this was a real fun one, **Scuba\_Ben**!

I also put Io, but mainly because it’s the most famous “foreign” moon I can name.

I’m guessing that’s how it went with a lot. Is Io that big?

Congrats!

Actually, Io is a very large moon, compared to the rest of those in the Solar System. However it’s the third largest of the Galilean moons, behind Ganymede and Callisto. Europa is the smallest of the four.

Titan is larger than most of the Galilean moons, but a bit less remarked upon.

The top seven moons, in terms of size are as follows:  
[ol]  
[li]Ganymede, mean radius 2630 km[/li][li]Titan, mean radius 2580 km[/li][li]Callisto, mean radius 2410 km[/li][li]Io, mean radius 1820 km[/li][li]Moon (or Luna), mean radius 1740 km[/li][li]Europa, mean radius 1560 km[/li][li]Triton, mean radius 1350 km[/li][/ol]

After looking over the results, “LARGE planet” was too simple. For my next feud, I’ll double check that there aren’t any questions likely to have a single answer.

All in all, not bad for my first Feud. And I placed in the top ten, too!

Congratulations **Tangent**!

Nice try but the premise is to say the one you think most posters will say. Therefore Titan is the right answer.

Hey, I went with the smallest of the Galilean moons, myself - since I thought that most Dopers would be excited by the whole idea of life on Europa. Compared to that, a few B&W pictures of a muddy slope and shore from Titan just isn’t as exciting. Or so I thought.  
Stupid sulfur volcanoes are still more popular.

I used to do a lot better, I’ve been slipping badly lately. I can’t wait for my “Food of the Gods” feud, I should do a lot better in it!
