**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 a gun, name something a policeman might carry.
2. How many times a day do you lock or unlock something? (Use numerals - don’t spell it)
3. Besides a stop sign, name a traffic sign.
4. Name a fictional detective.
5. Name a John Grisham book that was also a movie.
6. Besides the refrigerator, name something in the house that you never clean under but should.
7. Name a part of the human face.
8. Name a US state that starts with M.
9. Name a food you put salt on before even tasting.
10. Name a month with no “R.”

Notes:  
2: Hard to say what counts as locking or unlocking-- I was counting cases where you’d need to use a key.  
8: First thought was Montana, of course, but I didn’t think it’d be popular. Second thought was Massachusetts, but I thought people might not want to try to spell it.  
10: For obvious reasons.

For #9 I will say it’s the only food I do this with. If it weren’t for popcorn my answer would have been “none”

#5 was a lousy book and a lousy movie. It was the first Grisham I read. Then I read “The Pelican Brief”(also a movie) and realized this guy sells books, but I’m not reading any more of them myself.
