RULES! **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. 1. 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 double spacing. No urls. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bs is allowed. 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 and I’ll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11057884&postcount=93) The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **2:30 PM Central** on Friday, 04/03/09 whichever comes first. Good luck! **Read the rules! 🙂** How much do you really know about Canada? (Note: Google is allowed, but it will be quite apparent if you google for answers! ;)) 1. What is the National Capital? 2. Name a Maritime Province. 3. Name a Canadian Territory. 4. What is Canada’s national sport? 5. Name a famous Canadian entertainer. 6. Name a provincial capital. 7. Name a Canadian food. 8.
