You got the answer right, but it is obvious you were not even born yet, or you wouldn't have said it like that.

[3afan2K3]

I asked a friend

[Sans Couth]

And your friend told you the part about Greneda being 1/2000th the size of the US?

If you knew why we invaded Grenada, you would not have said that.

matt and pphs

[Sans Couth]

Do you know why we invaded Grenada? It is 3afan2K3's turn, but do you know why? It is ok if you don't, just like it is ok that you didn't know that we gave Panama the canal after we built it. I know why, but then again I am a little bit older than you two.:D

[3afan2K3]

nope

[Sans Couth]

You and Rangermom?

[3afan2K3]

Originally posted by Sans Couth

Close enough

This is the number of times the pencil is placed on the paper to write each number.

[Sans Couth]

That is what I meant.

I really like the logic problems. I have done them for years.

Give me a second, to come up with a good one.

[Sans Couth]

I will give you one along the same lines.

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by turbostud

nope

I guess I should be more specific.

How does the first line incorporate the second line?

[Sans Couth]

It requires a little abstract thought. But it is really not that tough.

[mwynn05]

i dont think anyone is going to get this right now it seems like there al busy

[Sans Couth]

I will give you a hint.

This sequence would also be incorporated by the first set of numbers.

3 3 5 4 4 3 5 5 4 3

[Sans Couth]

Do you want me to give you the answer?

[Sans Couth]

OK,

Here it is....you are gonna kick yourself.


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 represents the number of vowels in each number when you spell it.

3 3 5 4 4 3 5 5 4 3 represents the number of letters in each number when you spell it.:D

You gonna ask a question?

[mwynn05]

[Sans Couth]

If we don't have it yet, could we have a hint?

OK,

Here is an easy one.

How many East/West Interstates run thru Texas? And can you name them?

[JasperDog94]

[Sans Couth]

I-10, 20, and 40 is not correct.

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by JasperDog94

That is not the question.

[pirate4state]

Originally posted by Sans Couth
OK,

Here is an easy one.

How many East/West Interstates run thru Texas? And can you name them? Maybe I'm blind, but I only see 2 interstates that run all the way thru in Texas. I-10 beginning in Orange all the way to El Paso & I-40 up in the panhandle. :confused:

[JasperDog94]

2 - I-10 and I-40.

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by JasperDog94
2 - I-10 and I-40.

Correct!

I-10 and I-40 are the only two interstates that run East/West THRU Texas.

I-20 does not run thru, it starts in Kent Texas at I-10, and I-30 only runs East from Ft. Worth

[pirate4state]

Not that it really matters but I answered it about 30 seconds prior to JasperDog. :p

[pirate4state]

Okay, we'll go with an NFL question:

What Outland trophy winner was drafted from the University of Maryland by the Dallas Cowboys in 1975?

I guess that may be too easy for some of you Cowboy fans so I'll also throw in a movie question to keep it interesting and annoy others!! :D

The following tag line was used for what 90's film -- Small town. Big crime. Dead cold.

[Sans Couth]

Randy White and Fargo

[pirate4state]

Sans Couth - you are correct! I knew they'd be too easy. Next time I'll try to have something prepared! :D :nerd:

[Sans Couth]

Let's stay with the Cowboys.

Does anyone know who the first Dallas Cowboy was to play in a pro-bowl?

[pirate4state]

Was it wide receiver - Jim Doran?

[Sans Couth]

YEP

[pirate4state]

Sorry, first question had 2 possible answers!

How about...

In what year was the U.S. airmail stamp, featuring a picture of an airplane, introduced?

[Sans Couth]

I don't have a friggin clue. LOL

How about 1935?

[pirate4state]

LOL - nope.

[Sans Couth]

Well let's see. If I remember right we celebrated the Wright Brother's 100th anniversary of flight this year. So my guess is it happened sometime after 1904:D

Let's say it takes the Government at least 10 years to figure out that they can fly some mail.

How about 1914? And I am gonna guess the stamp was expensive as well.

[pirate4state]

Good thinking, but NOPE! :D

[JasperDog94]

The government is waaaaay to slow for only 10 years...how about 1925?

[pirate4state]

Nope. Should I give y'all a hint? :D

[pakrat]

They had them in WWII.

[pakrat]

How about 1918?:nerd:

OK...Who was the French Nobleman who came to help Gen. George Washington defeat the British? Hint: He was only 20 yrs old when he came to America.

[Sans Couth]

[Sans Couth]

Originally posted by pakrat

The only French name that comes to mind and is the name of a city is Lafyette Louisiana.

[pakrat]

You are so right. The dude's name is Marquis de Lafayette! That was a couple centuries ago when the french would still fight a little bit. Course, one man doesn't make much of an army. His help was a lot in getting the French gov. to turn loose of some guns and maybe some other guys to fight.

[Sans Couth]

Well to be honest I had no idea what the first name might be or who Lafyette is named after. For all I know Lafyette was named after some Pirate. LOL:D

But give me a min. and I will come up with a question.
