The Big LBR Non Google Trivia Quiz

[JaiDee]

Hefe got 2 and PD got one

 

   I put 95 and 5 and they were both wrong.......I did get three right.

 

   10,  40, 70, 80 and 90 were the proper answers. 

 

Can't believe I didn't get 90     It runs all the way from Boston to Seattle. For some weird reason I figured it ended at Buffalo probably because I've never been past there.

 

   I did get 40, 70 and 80, been on those three roads and they are loooooong......route 10 goes all the way from Jacksonville FL to SanDiego, ends at Ocean pier.

[Hefe]

As many years as I drove across from the upper midwest to the east coast (Mnpls- Chi) for the life of me I can't remember the main east/west interstate there

[JaiDee]

I think that's the 90, Hefe;  it runs along the far north of the country but because I never took it past the Buffalo area I figured it just ended there; dumb. The 80 is the next major one down, I was on that a lot last fall when I drove cross-country from Denver to Boston.

 

I also remembered the 70 from when I drove across country many moons ago, that one runs through Missouri and Kansas, etc.....

[pdogg]

Since 80 is near Cleveland, I just figured 90 could not be too long cause it couldnt be above 80 there but 90 is the longest acccording to the internet

[JaiDee]

Yeah, when the quizmaster announced that one I was pissed!!

 

Hell, I've probably been on I-90 200 times or more in my life.

[JaiDee]

Here's one from the Name That Tune category, they played the song but it's probably not necessary since most of have surely heard it;  which band did "Closing Time" from the early 90's?

 

Hint; one-hit wonders.

[Hefe]

Same here, for 5 years I used I 90 constantly every week as well as traveling to the east on it once or twice annually, just couldn't recall the number...

[SiamSam]

Here's one from the Name That Tune category, they played the song but it's probably not necessary since most of have surely heard it;  which band did "Closing Time" from the early 90's?

 

Hint; one-hit wonders.

 

Leonard Cohen had a great song called "Closing Time". But I don't know the one hit wonder band.

[JaiDee]

This one may be a bit obscure and actually would fit better in the Band thread......I actually got it,  but not before writing "Supersonic" and crossing it out and changing it in time.

 

 

[Hefe]

Yeah.. Lyle Lovett has a "Closing Time" & so does the great Guy Clark, but I bet it's not either of those...

[Kahuna]

 

 

 .....route 10 goes all the way from Jacksonville FL to San Diego, ends at Ocean pier.

 

I live right off of Interstate 10...It doesn't go to San Diego...It goes to Los Angeles where you have to take Highway 5 to get to San Diego...Highway 8 about 30 miles south of me goes to San Diego...Hwy 8's eastern start is off of Hwy 10 about half way between Phoenix and Tucson...Maybe that causes some confusion...Only reason I know is cause I drive on both all the time...Sometimes I take 10 to LA and return on 8 so I can stop at Los Algodones, Mexico...Didn't know Hwy 10 started in Jacksonville though..............

[JaiDee]

ooooops. the guys I was talking to last night after the quiz said it went from JAX to SD

 

Personally I've never been on it.

[JaiDee]

Here's another one from last night's game;

 

How many stories on the Empire State building?

[SiamSam]

Interstate 10 runs from coast to coast from Jacksonville to Los Angeles. However just a wee bit north of Tucson you can branch off to the beginning of Interstate 8 which will take you to San Diego. So if you are on I-10 it is easy to think you are still on the 10 when following the signs to San Diego.

 

Just some highway trivia in case you don't know:

Interstates that run North/South are odd numbers starting with the lowest number on the west coast (I-5) and climb to the highest number on the east coast (I-95). Interstates that run East/West are even numbers starting with the lowest number in the south (I-4) and climb to the highest number in the north (I-90). 

Three digit interstate numbers are ancillary highways adjacent to the main interstate. They are used to by-pass a city or circumvent an urban area. So for example I-95 runs pass Washington DC however there is an interstate loop that runs around the city. It is I-495) If that loop was closer to the city core it would be called I-295. If it was farther away from the city core it would be called I-695. 

The whole interstate numbering system is a science and designed so people can usually figure out where they are and in what direction they're headed, provided they know the system.

[Quinn]

Yeah.. Lyle Lovett has a "Closing Time" & so does the great Guy Clark, but I bet it's not either of those...

Bet it's not Tom Waits "Closing Time" either,

Yes Guy Clarke I like. Saw him at small concert venue many years ago (UK) along with Peter Rowan and the late Townes Van Zandt and John Stewart.

Superb

[Quinn]

. . . and whilst we're in a musical vein . .  Chip Taylor - singer songwriter - "Wild Thing (Troggs) "Angel of the Morning" - who is his better known brother and neice. ? (actors).

(This may have been posted before).

Wow, what a great show  that must've been.

 

Chip's brother is Jon Voight so his niece would be Angelina. 

[Quinn]

Yeah - thought you would get that. Chums of mine saw Chip Taylor in Concert and said he was pretty good.

[NIGHTRIDER]

General Andre Cox is the head of which army?

[SiamSam]

Salvation. 

 

Just goofin' around. 

[pacman]

I think you may be right Sam.

 

It's an odd question to ask when there is no context & Salvation Army fits the tone of the question perfectly. 

[pacman]

Thank you Mrs. Fry...........5th grade..................I'm sure she would be so proud of me now..........

 

I still remember my 5th grade teacher like yesterday. Mr Knight. He taught me how to think & that for every action there is a consequence. I am still amazed how many kids today just don't seem to get that.

[JaiDee]

General Andre Cox is the head of which army?

 

 Total guess but I will say French Foreign Legion?

[pdogg]

In New York, the alvation Army ran a residence for single women.  The guy in charge was Major Cox.

 

While we're waiting for the answer, name the most powerful piece in this game.

[Hefe]

Major Cox presided over a residence for women? You couldn't make this stuff up!

Was he assisted by Private Parts?
