Rules, in case you are new to this: **DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!**

A quick reminder, the object of the game is to give an answer that will match the most number of other Doper’s answers. Marcus Aurelius might be a great answer for a Roman Emperor in **Great Debates** , but in **MPSIMS** not so much. 🙂 Or Constantine for that matter.

Post your responses to the questions. When there have been 50 responses, I will give each response two points. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 50 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are 10 questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points.

Format for your answers: You don’t need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

If you don’t know an answer, guess! If you pass, you’re guaranteed to get zero points – but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you’ll get points, whether the answer is “right” or not!

1 Name a Doper with a large number of posts.

1. Name a Russian composer.

2. Name an automobile insurance company.

3. Name a French Impressionist painter.

4. Other than one of the Gospels, name a Book in the New Testament

5. Name a Mexican resort area

6. Name a Portuguese explorer

7. Name a automobile manufacturer that has gone out of business

8. Other than John Paul II and Benedict XVI, name a Pope.

9. Name a Chinese Dynasty
