> [@](#): > > Apparently everyone else knows something that I don’t re: Monaco and gambling. It’s the home of Monte Carlo, a casino so famous that it’s become synonymous with everything random. It also has the advantage (for purposes of this Feud) of not having much else besides the casino, which means it won’t overlap with any of the other answers. ---

> [@Rebo](#): > > No - but you won’t match many people, unless they didn’t read my bolded in red rules either. 😉 But he doesn’t need to perfectly match other people to get a lot of points. In this case multiple Frances are probably the best way to go, if you are not going to be penalised for breaking the rules. ---

In this case multiple Frances are probably the best way to go, if you are not going to be penalised for breaking the rules. You’ve got a point. In this particular game, repeating answers would be an unfair advantage. I rescind my earlier ruling. **Biffy the Elephant Shrew** , your answers are DQ’d. ---
