```auto **1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** **2. 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. 3. Formatting rules: If they are not followed, your answers might be **DISQUALIFIED**. 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer Make your list look like the one above. No url's. 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 want to leave an answer blank, use PASS. 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. (I've quit maintaining The List.) If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. Good luck! **Read the rules!** (The USSR existed from 1922 to 1991) 1. Name a Soviet political leader 2. Name a country formerly part of the USSR (besides Russia) 3. Name a city that changed names while part of the USSR 4. Name a food or dish asscociated with the USSR (besides borscht) 5. Name something that was highly sought after on the black market 6. Name an touristy location that was formerly in the USSR 7. Name a famous person from the USSR (NOT a politician) 8. Name a Russian word that's used in many other languages 9. Name a pop song about the USSR 10. Who had a bigger impact on winning WW2 (aka Great Patriotic War), the USSR or the USA? ``` ---
