I’m invoking my creator rights to give this feud a bump.

I’ve had internet issues, and holiday shopping got in the way. I’ll try to get this scored today.

</div>

Out of curiousity, were there many people who didn’t recognize one or more names on the list? A couple of posters have said they didn’t recognize the name Diana Spencer. Were there others? Or maybe people who chose not to play because of an unfamiliar name?

She was the only one I didn’t recognize. In fact I think I was within 3 years of all but two of the other folks listed. I was familiar with the names “Sid Vicious” and “Malcomn X” but I had no idea when they were born or how old they were when they died.

Wow, I was close on a lot of them. Way off on Diana Spencer though; admittedly, I have no idea who she is. Way off on Hank Williams too.

And the winner is… **42fish**! Good job! ::flings red and green confetti:: **42fish** got 7/10 top answers. Well done! Perfect score was a measly little 262.50.

Thanks for playing, everyone! Very fun game, **Little Nemo**! Very different. (And easy to score! ;))

I’ll get another game going soon. (Was that vague enough? I’m so busy lately, like all of you, I’m sure.) Also, I need more lists, people! 🙂

I’d like to take this time to say Happy Holidays to all of you! I love being your Feud Mistress.

If my math in my head is correct, the ‘correct’ answer had 55 matches or a score of 137.5. It figures **Swampy** would have the ‘correct’ score.
