so when you guys drive.... you just ignore any curves that are less than 180 degrees?  What is an "S" curve?   How does changing direction 90 degrees using a curve not make it a curve?

Laz,

As the three 180 degree curves are not seperated by any straight stretch, like the short straights between turns 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 at Indy, I consider them each a single 180 degree curve rather than 180 discreet 1 degree curves.

However I believe that the curve of the surface of the cylindrically shaped wire before it is bent into the traditional shape must be considered.

As the slats remain parallel the angle between slats remains consistant. The distance between the slat axis remains consistant, so you are correct.  The angle of the slats is adjusted with respect to the observer.

Either way you look at it there is no question that the question is unquestionably flawed...

15.

Matches come in boxes of 50-60, never the same number, just as many as fits into a matchbox.

FM radio band in USSR was on lower frequency then in the West, 66-74MHz. When I was a kid I had a tuner that was so old that it had meters on dial. On my FM tuner the lowest frequency is 88 - it's the frequency of Arsenal radio in Moscow, that's why I know it exactly.

No idea about VHF, I have a Toshiba multisystem (PAL/SECAM/NTSC) TV made for Europe, and on old Soviet TVs there were 12 channels tuned manually by a technician, plus unknown number of decimeter wave channels sometimes. Newer transistor TVs from the 80s had 3 bands for each of 6-8 buttons selected by jumpers and then wheels to tune without numbers.

Standard Russian playing cards have a logo on an ace of diamonds. I answered that one right, just remembered my last game of preferance with a Chinese deck bought on a railway station at night.

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Nobody scored 7 or under. Or at least if anyone has they arent talking about it.

Looks like were all above average people here.
