I am looking for the State in the 48 Continental United States, I am sorry if I was not specific enough. Also, there are 4 Interstates that run thru Alaska and at least one of them runs North/South

[sinton66]

Ok, how about North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by sinton66

Well only one of those is correct.

[sinton66]

Ok, Nebraska

[Sans Couth]

Yes,

Nebraska is correct.

While it is over 400 miles wide it does not have an Interstate that runs through it North/South.

Interstate 29 runs just East of Nebraska, and goes thru the Dakotas, and Interstate 25 runs just West of Nebraska.

Your turn.

[3afan2K3]

Arkansas

[Sans Couth]

Sinton66 already got it with Nebraska.

And Interstate 55 runs North out of West Memphis Arkansas.

When you are playing a game during franshice mode, quit and save the game. Get all the way out of franchise mode so you have to reload the game. When you do this the computer rechrges fans to get back in the game and all you income for food tickets ect. has been doubled!

I like the logic type trivia.

I may try and come up with a good one for later. But for now, Here is an easy one.


Where did Jamie Foxx (the QB in Any Given Sunday) learn how to play quarterback?

[SintonFan]

I don't know much about him but I looked up his bio. Says he was from Terrell, Texas. So I'm going to guess and say he played high school football and that's where he learned to play QB.(It would explain the hint of "Here is an easy one.":D

[Sans Couth]

Terrell is correct. Jamie was the QB for the 1986 Terrell Tigers.

[SintonFan]

[Sans Couth]

Is it all there?

[CHS_Grad '85]

I've seen this before... 52 weeks in a year... if I remember correctly...

[Sans Couth]

That is what I was going to say. But he left out the 52. That is why I asked if it was all there.

[CHS_Grad '85]

Cool... then please ask the next question...

[Sans Couth]

No,

Go ahead. You got it first.

[CHS_Grad '85]

From the Friends show... Rachel once started to write a book. What was its title? (yes I looked on-line for this question)

[Sans Couth]

To make it official you got it right CHS_Grad '85.
I left out the 52, cuz it would be too easy then.

[SintonFan]

Dang, I stopped watching Friends several years ago...

[CHS_Grad '85]

I did steal the question from a 'Friends Trivia' site...

[Sans Couth]

I know the answer now. But I looked it up, and I must say, it is going to be a real die hard Friends fan that knows the answer to this one. Because I remembered the episode, but didn't have a clue as to the answer. And now that I have looked it up, I still don't remember it.:D

[CHS_Grad '85]

Give the answer... I'm sure no one would mind that you looked it up... I figured it would have to be looked up... it's really an out there question... and your right, a die-hard fan would be the only one to get it... I also remembered the episode but didn't know the answer...

[Sans Couth]

OK,

The answer is 'Woman Undone' but I admit that I had to look it up.

[CHS_Grad '85]

Sorry... actually had to do some work for a change... yes... Sans - that is correct:clap: ... your turn...

[Sans Couth]

OK,

Here is an easy one.

Justin has a set of encyclopedias on his shelf. The volumes are arranged in order from left to right. The covers are 3/16 inch thick, and each volume is 1 1/2 inches thick. Unfortunately, a bookworm finds the encyclopedias. It starts at the first page of volume I and eats its way to the last page of volume II before Justin discovers it.

How far does the bookworm travel?
