**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. Besides Giuliani and Bloomberg, name a NYC mayor. 2. Besides Manhattan, name a borough in NYC. 3. Besides Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, name a New York Yankee whose jersey number has been retired. 4. Name a non-sporting event that was held at Old Yankee Stadium. 5. Name a long running Broadway play. 6. Name a song about New York City (besides New York, New York). 7. Name a tall building in New York City (besides the Empire State Building). 8. Name the best ethnic food in New York City. (Give a genre, not a specific food.) 9. Name a NYC park (besides Central Park). 10. If New York City isn’t the capital of the world, what city is? ---
