**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: None

**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, do not use the “list” function, no smilies, 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: None**

1. Name a costume that a 5 yr old boy might wear trick or treating.
2. Name a costume that a 5 yr old girl might wear trick or treating.
3. Name a costume that an adult male might wear to a Halloween party.
4. Name a costume that an adult female might wear to a Halloween party.
5. How many trick-or-treaters will show up at the typical Doper’s home. (use numbers, don’t spell it.)
6. Besides a Jack-o-Lantern, name another Halloween decoration.
7. How much would a typical pumpkin weigh before it was carved into a Jack-o-Lantern. (whole numbers please, and don’t spell it.)
8. Name a Halloween prank. (Please 5 words or less).
9. Name a themed food at an adult Halloween party.
10. Besides Halloween, name another holiday which candy is prominent.

#5 - WAG, ours is much higher, We moved into a really nice quiet children friendly neighbourhood a couple of years ago and was amazed on our first Halloween. Everyone goes crazy with decorations, costumes, etc… (I will be playing catch-up for a few years) People from neighbouring communities actually drive their kids over to Trick or Treat here!
