NEW RULES!

**DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

New formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your answers will be **DISQUALIFIED**.

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bullshit is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST**!

The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks.

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 that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10778971&postcount=86)

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **3:30 PM Central** on Friday, 03/13/09 whichever comes first.  
Good luck!

**Remember, the new formatting rules are in effect. Read the rules!**

Note: all answers to the nearest 15 minutes, please.  
Use military format such as 01:00, 15:45, 12:30, 21:15.

1. What time does the morning newspaper arrive?
2. What time does one normally eat breakfast?
3. What time does the boss usually show up at work?
4. How long does one have to wait for service at the doctor’s office?
5. How long does it take to tumble-dry a typical load of laundry?
6. What time does one usually watch the evening news on television?
7. How long is that movie you’re watching on DVD tonight?
8. What’s the usual bedtime for kids under 12 years old?
9. What time would you stay up until if you didn’t have to get up for work every morning?
10. How long does it take to get a passport (from application to delivery)?
