Guess the 2di Challenge

[SkyPesos]

Allowing only 2dis would still leave 70 choices, which is comparable to the guess the state/province challenge.

I'm fine with whatever is decided, but if we do change to 2di only, just let me know how my entry from above should be handled.

Actually a bit less, as now I realized that the Wikipedia list counts discontinuous interstates with the same number separately, while I'll be counting it as the same, since like with 3di, we're only going with the number here.

You can keep your entry as is until someone guesses the correct answer, then the next one (if it's decided to be 2di only) will follow that rule.

EDIT: made the change disallowing 3di for future entries.

Since I haven't made my guess yet, how about I-295?

What state?

Good guess since there are several, but no, it's not any of the I-295's.

Might make the game flow better (and make the guessing easier) if it was limited to 2dis. Urban 3dis kind of all look about the same, so unless there's a gantry visible or something else that tips off which state it's in, it's kind of a crapshoot. 2dis can have more variety due to their long length.

Might consider removing 3dis from guessing here, though at the same time, almost all rural 2di in the Midwest look something like this (and no, this image is not up for guesses:

That's a feature, not a bug–while there are a fair number of interstates that look like that, there are even more of them that don't!

[Roadgeekteen]

I-395 (CT/MA)

[SkyPesos]

I-195? Like with 295, there's multiple 195 variants in the Northeast.

(Looking at the pacing of the game atm, I'll most likely keep the 12 hours between guesses, instead of switching to 24 hours like the other guessing games.)

[webny99]

Nope, it's not I-395 nor I-195...
So let's see... by my count that leaves the following:

I-176, I-276, I-376
I-279
I-180, I-280, I-380
I-283
I-384
I-287 (NJ)
I-189
I-190 (MA)
I-291, I-391
I-293, I-393

I-287 in NJ???

[webny99]

I-287 in NJ???

Not a bad guess, but no...

[jlam]

I-380 in PA?

[JayhawkCO]

I'm going to go I-293 in New Hampshire.

Chris

[webny99]

I-380 in PA?

I'm going to go I-293 in New Hampshire.

Both good guesses, one is considerably closer than the other location-wise.  Not I-380 or I-293 though.

[Roadgeekteen]

I-393 New Hamsphire

[jmacswimmer]

I-180 PA?

[webny99]

I-180 PA?

You got it! Well done!

You're up next, and remember the 2di-only rule takes effect now.

[jmacswimmer]

Alright, here's my entry - also from the Northeast.

(& yes, it is indeed a 2di!)

[jlam]

I-87?

[snowc]

(& yes, it is indeed a 2di!)

i99?

[jmacswimmer]

i99?

That was quick - I-99 indeed! IIRC, I took that pic a little north of the Blair-Centre County line (and I blacked out what I think was this milepost, just to be safe ).

On to you, snowc.

[webny99]

I-99 was going to be my guess as well!

Another note, and SkyPesos can confirm this, but I believe we are no longer requiring the region of the country to be specified.

Yea that's correct.

But since there's a bit under 70 options available (compared to about 15 in guess the speed limit), I've been allowing guesses every 12 hours instead of every 24 hours to fill in for all the options, and so far, it seems like no one has taken advantage of that yet.
