Too bad the most favorable dates for me to join have passed. Between August 9 and 15 each year my hometown's festivals are held, and during those dates I stay awaken until later, so I could get to a 8:30 PM EDT (2:30 AM the next day CEST) start.
1 = 2 (yes, the new math works. Welcome back to chat, 1!)

I'm sure you divided by zero at one point. Check again.

We haven't had a trivia night in 4 months, so I figured I'd host one.

Wednesday, September 12 at 8:30 PM EDT

Similar format and rules to previous nights. Come one, come all!

As a reminder, trivia is being held Wednesday night at 8:30 PM. Same format as before, but with my own twist on this thing.

Rules for tonight will generally follow the rules set by Alps. That being said, I'm going to add some house rules and additional items:

  • There will be 50 questions, with most states plus Canada and Mexico being represented. Some states will not have a dedicated question, while there will also be national questions.
  • We're taking a 15 minute break halfway through (after question 25).
  • The second half will be "double jeopardy" to keep things interesting. Double points for correct answers, but also 2 points lost for wrong answers. Double Jeopardy ONLY applies to single-answer questions that were not closest guess (questions that would normally be 1 point).
  • Closest guess questions will have bonus points for being either exact or within a certain range. The exact bonus will depend on the question.
  • I'm going to emphasize the "don't blurt out" thing. There will be zero-penalty bonus questions for some questions. Person who answers correctly gets first guess.

Alright...results from tonight's trivia!

Alps - 19 points. Started slow, but came back to win it at the end.
NE2 - 17 points. He was hampered by incorrect guesses.
pianocello - 13 points. Didn't answer a ton of questions, but almost always answered correctly. Closest guess questions were almost exact or exact in most cases.
US 89 and paulthemapguy - 11 points. Not a bad showing.
Laura - 3 points. She showed up right at the end, but got no questions wrong. If she showed up earlier, she could probably win this thing.

The full list of questions and answers will go in a separate post.

Minnesota   Which expressway in Minnesota has a median bus station?   TH 77

Only half right.  I-35W in Minneapolis also has one, and is in the process of getting a second.

35W is a freeway, not an expressway. I don't know if 77 is though.

That was my mistake. That being said, I would have accepted 35W as an answer, as I would have double-checked.

^ Steve, all of 77 is a freeway.  Where the freeway ends in Apple Valley, 77 also ends.

Alright, that was fun last night. Since no one has claimed next trivia yet, I thought I could host next time. Next trivia will be:

Wednesday, October 24th; 8:30 PM ET (and 6:30 PM MT -- that time zone needs some recognition)
AARoads Chatroom

It will be the same format as previous trivia nights have used, though small changes may be announced later. As always, come one come all! Last time was fun, but I’m hoping we can get some more people.

This is your friendly reminder that TRIVIA NIGHT will be held this Wednesday in the AARoads Chatroom at 6:30 PM MDT (that's 8:30 PM EDT for those of you spoiled eastern-timers who have never had a need to convert time zones).

Again, rules will follow the format used in previous trivia nights.

I'm going to add this note, because I don't think it has been specified clearly for previous trivia nights: you can show up late and still play.
Most of the high-value questions are towards the end of the trivia.

T minus 49 MINUTES until TRIVIA NIGHT. Again, it will be in the chat room, which you can access from this link.

Rules for tonight will follow the standard rules, with the following exceptions/clarifications:

  • You can arrive late and still play. You can also arrive on time and leave halfway through if you need.
  • The "double jeopardy" format that cl94 used last time will be in play again. In short: questions asked in the second half will be worth two points, as opposed to the normal one. That applies to penalties for missed questions as well. However: the double jeopardy rule will not apply to bonus questions, or questions that are part of a multiple-answer.
  • There are a few multiple-answer bonuses towards the end of this trivia. These will work just like any other bonuses, with the player who guessed right getting the first guess at the bonus with no penalty. However, after the first correct bonus answer, there will be a point penalty if you miss. That goes for everyone, including the original guesser.
  • Don't look up anything on a question until it is over. Some of the bonus questions in tonight's trivia will be ruined if you look up the answer to the initial question.
  • Don't blurt out random stuff related to a question. It may well be the subject of a bonus question.

That is all. I'm hoping we get a good turnout tonight.

Okay, what do people think: Are US 266 and 138 longer than their parent routes because their parent routes are 0 miles?

I think the lengths of US 66 and US 38 are undefined because they do not exist, and that this is not the same thing as a route which exists but is 0 miles in length.

I haven't made a trivia night yet, but I'd like to see how bad I'd do at this (why I'm in a meteorology major). Since fall term is over on Monday, or Tuesday, I'll have 33 or 34 days off before heading back so selfishly, that would be a good time, but I don't want the schedule revived around me. I just would like to know when the next one is (since I don't know much about this).

Just realized I never posted the questions from last time:

As already argued back in the day, US 138, 166, 266 and 199 could be correct answers as they could be considered to be longer than their respective parents, as they don't exist anymore.

I'd like a trivia night to be scheduled some time from August 9 to 14 both included. I explained why I could get to one during that time frame last year.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Next trivia will be OCTOBER 30, 2019 at 8:15 PM Eastern. Since I won the last one, I will be hosting. Different format this time; instead of the Jeopardy "first buzz" format we have previously used, this will have secret answers.

This is the same night as a potential game 7 of the World Series would be - let's hope whoever wins that can do it in 6 games or less

Just realized I never posted the questions from last time:



Massachusetts Name the tunnels that carry MA 1A under Boston Harbor. Sumner Tunnel, Callahan Tunnel



Minor correction.   1A southbound into Boston still follows the Sumner Tunnel, but 1A northbound out of Boston now follows the Ted Williams Tunnel.  This is because, since the O'Neill Tunnel was completed, there is no longer a direct connection between I-93/US 1 northbound and the Callahan Tunnel.  The Callahan Tunnel is signed as 1A for clarity, because there is no direct connection between I-93/US 1 southbound and the Williams Tunnel.
