**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

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

No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: In this Feud, “3” and “3rd”, “10” and “10th”, etc. are both acceptable types of answers in any of the questions, except 8 & 9.**

1. Other than “One,” name a song with ‘one’ in the title.
2. Name a song with ‘two’ in the title.
3. Name a song with 3, 4, or 5 in the title or lyric.
4. Name a song with 6, 7, 8, or 9 in the title or lyric.
5. Name a song with 10, 11 or 12 in the title or lyric.
6. Name a song with a number in the teens in the title or lyric.
7. Name a song with a number from 20 to 99 in the title or lyric.
8. Besides “1999” by Prince, name a song with a number that is a year in the title.
9. Name a song where a number takes the place of a non-number word in the title or lyric. (i.e. 2 for ‘to,’ 4 for ‘for,’ etc.)
10. Name a song with multiple numbers in the title or lyric. (For example, if the feud was asking for albums instead of songs, Arrested Development’s “3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of…” would work.)
