Quiz nonsense: Missing States Plates?
 
We went to Yellowstone and we noted which State Licence Plates we saw on private vehicles (i.e. not trucks or U-Haul vans -Hebe's rules). We also saw three U.S. licence plates on cars that did not belong to any of the 50 States. We saw 51 plates in total (52 on all vehicles -there was one plate we saw a lot, but only on trucks.)

Here's your challenge:

1) Which two states did we not see represented on private vehicles. You have to name both. (666 nerd points)

2) Which one of those did we see on a truck but not a private vehicle? (13 nerd points)

3) which three non-state US plates did we see? You don't have to name all three, we think there's one easy, one medium-easy and one hard. (13, 42 and 333 nerd points)

person with the most nerd points will win user title bragging rights.

Was #3 a U.S. Government plate, no state, just slapped on the Men in Black's SUV?

monster 08-13-2011 08:17 PM

Gov plate for 42 points......

monster 08-13-2011 08:18 PM

the 333-pointer was one we'd never seen before, and we only saw the one.....

monster 08-13-2011 08:19 PM

BONUS POINTS!

4) which was the last plate we spotted (yesterday)? It was a state plate. (51 nerd points)

Imma say Maine was on a truck but not a car since they have the cheap registration. We saw Hawaii on our Yellowstone trip... I say you didn't see Louisiana.

monster 08-13-2011 08:47 PM

no points -and you have to get #1 right before answers to #2 are considered. hence the n/a for wolf.

But I will admit we saw Hawaii. What is with that? is it some rental get-around? and if so, why only there? we don't see them all the time at the airport rental lots.

You didn't see Mississip' or West Virginia.

Seen on a truck: Massachussetts.

Clodfobble 08-13-2011 10:12 PM

Didn't see South Dakota or Rhode Island.

monster 08-13-2011 10:19 PM

no more points scored

The 333 was a diplomatic plate, then?

Who wouldn't go to Yellowstone ... probably like someone who lives in Philadelphia not going to the Liberty Bell ... but the rental cars would have Wyoming plates, so perhaps that's not it, but that's my guess. And for the one you saw on a truck.
