I know that the questions on "Family Feud" are geared more toward the, uh, heartland demographic, but I'd still like to see a bit more variety in the tenor and intellectual challenge of the questions that contestants are asked. So here's a short list of questions I'd like to see contestants wrestle with on the show:
1. Name an English word that has three vowels in a row in it. (e.g., "disagreeable")
2. Name a surname that ends with "I-E-S." (e.g., Davies, Humphries, Margulies, etc.)
3. Name a popular Asian hot sauce or spice.
4. Name a popular Indian dish.
5. Name an important mountain-hiking safety tip.
6. Name a common type of grammatical error. (e.g., comma splice, misplaced modifier, etc.)
7. Name a non-culinary Spanish word or phrase commonly used in modern American English.
8. Name a superhero who is not a genetic mutant.
9. Name one feature common to all major extant religious traditions.
10. Name a common type of sports injury.
[Technically, the above aren't questions, per se; they're commands. Feel free to add your own intelligent questions/commands in the comments section.]

Wouldn't these questions be more appropriate for a show called "Nerd Feud"?
ReplyDeleteThey are kinda nerdy, aren't they.
