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.

1. Didn't see: Hawaii and Alaska

2. Did see on a Truck: Alaska

3. Non State: District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico

1) incorrect

2) n/a

3) you get the 13 points for DC.

!. Didn't see Rhode Island or Delaware

2. Delaware was on a truck (Lots of corps there)

3. Guam and American Samoa

not a point in sight for you, glatt :(

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

Gov plate for 42 points......

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

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.

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.

Didn't see South Dakota or Rhode Island.

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.

oh wolf totally nails it! 333 points for the diplomatic plate

The 666 points for the twofer we didn't see are still wide open, though....

you have to get both before you can even consider (2)

North Dakota and New Mexico!

So, the not seen is Alaska (for which I should get half points as I identified it first, we're just working on the second one) and ...

Ohio? But that doesn't make sense, because Ohio is so boring that people leave there to go other places a lot. Especially places that aren't excessively flat.

and ohio is right like 30 miles away from AA....

no half points... all or nothing.....

I was thinking diplomatic plates, but the rules for those say you can't drive more than a certain radius from your embassy. Something like a couple hundred miles. And I don't think there are any embassies near Yellowstone.

Cursed diplomatic scofflaws and their diplomatic immunity.

:lol: No wonder I've never seen one before

I've seen them in DC, NYC, and rarely, Philadelphia. Couple on the Jersey Turnpike, too.

East Coast Elitist!

Dont read if you want to keep on guessing

OK so I'mma assign half points shared... or something. we didn't see Maine and Alaska on private-type vehicles. But we did see maine on trucks.

The very last state we got was West Virginia.

I was totally gonna guess Maine. :unsure:

Even on a long trip like that, it's amazing you saw most of the state plates.

I don't get out much.
