It’s been suggested that I actually figure out scores for this game. Okay.

I was going to just give everyone who guessed a category right a point. But that didn’t seem to give proper credit for those who figured out the more difficult ones. So I went through all the categories and ranked them by difficulty based on how few people guessed them correctly. Then I scored them from 1-10 points.

  1. Name an unusually large muppet. 10 points
  2. Name a catchphrase from a war movie. 9 points
  3. Name a non-Abrahamic religion i.e. not Christian, Muslim, Jewish 8 points
  4. Name one of the Pointer sisters. 7 points
  5. Give a girl’s name that is also a gemstone. 6 points
  6. Name a European capital. 5 points
  7. Name a musical. 4 points
  8. Name a type of “exotic” pet. 3 points
  9. Name a brand of Hot Dog. 2 points
  10. Name a female singer 1 point

And the scores are:

  1. Sternvogel = 42
  2. twickster = 36
  3. cmkeller = 34
  4. BigT = 30
  5. (tie) Roland Orzabal = 29
  6. (tie) ShibbOleth = 29
  7. (tie) Sparky812 = 29
  8. (tie) labtrash = 28
  9. (tie) Monstera deliciosa = 28
  10. El_Kabong = 25
  11. Really Not all That Bright = 23
  12. Sigmagirl = 22
  13. WormTheRed = 21
  14. Biffy the Elephant Shrew = 19
  15. astorian = 18
  16. ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness = 15
  17. Tengu = 11
  18. (tie) Chronos = 10
  19. (tie) dwc1970 =10
  20. (tie) Fretful Porpentine = 10
  21. (tie) Freudian Slit = 10
  22. (tie) wheresgeorge04 = 10
  23. Kobal2 = 8
  24. jasonh300 = 6
  25. Avarie537 = 2

Then I did it again because the board had logged me out.

Then I did it a third time because the keyboard I’m using isn’t working right.

Sorry scoring was such a PITA – this was fun! Thanks for putting it together!

I can just barely see not accepting “Eastern religions,” but why not “Broadway musicals”?

33

Was The Sound of Music done as a stage musical?

34

Yep. (Major childhood memory: my parents’ This Is Broadway’s Best double LP with “The Lonely Goatherd” on it.)

35

Like in the Feud threads, it’s possible to get a right answer that’s not the right answer. I took these categories from other feuds and had to decide if the guesses were close enough to count as a match. Question #2 was from a feud about movie genres - so my interpretation was that the answer had to be movies not stage productions. This gave an advantage to the people who just guessed “musicals” without specifying the format but that’s where I drew the line.

36

This was pretty interesting. I personally liked my answer for #10 even though no one else came up with that (and it wasn’t correct).

I think it would be more challenging if you put some of the “wrong” feud answers into the mix. For example, if the Feud was “Name a US Capitol east of the Mississippi” and someone answered Austin, Texas, then list

Austin, Atlanta, Albany, Annapolis, Harrisburg

We’d have to decide whether it was state capitols that start with A or state capitols east of the Mississippi or some other category. (To my recollection that’s never been a Feud question). There are usually at least one or two answers that are out there enough to really throw a monkey wrench into it.

Anyway, that’s what I was thinking with my answer to the tenth question. Both Anita and Bonnie were real hurricanes. I wasn’t sure about June and Ruth is, I think, on the list in some years, but has never been a named storm.

37

Wohooo! I’m solid in the middle of the pack!

These weird Feuds seem to be my thing :slight_smile:

38

Exactly why is Cookie Monster “big”? Because that was going to be my guess until I saw him. Other than that, it looks about right.
