[QUOTE=twickster] A. Read all the rules B. Post your answers before reading the thread C. Post your answers like this: 1. Answer 2. Answer, etc Do not repeat the questions, do not add extraneous fluff amongst your answers. If you want to add commentary, double space after your tenth answer and do it there. D. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. E. The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 7 PM Eastern on Wednesday, 3/26/08 whichever comes first. F. The penalty. See rule C. If you fail to post answers correctly causing me extra work in the scoring, you get the honor of incurring a penalty. That penalty is 10% of your final point total. I only do this with the goal of making sure people read the rules. Ready? Here we go! Give me 30 seconds on the clock… 1. Other than Richard Dawson, name someone who hosted _Family Feud_. 2.

I said I was going to close it at 7 PM, but am just starting to collate the scores now, so if we’ve got a few more stragglers, I’ll let it go to 50 entries. ---

Wow, even with the spreadsheet (thanks, **Mully**!) it’s taking a while to do the scores – I’m less than halfway through. Sorry, everyone – hope to have scores up tomorrow evening.
