The winner of the Eisenhower Interstate Highway Trivia game is SGSMOOT, who
tells us:

>Aw shucks, that's easy - odd-number Interstates are north-south while
>even-numbered ones are east-west. Three-digit Interstates add the following
>convention: When the initial digit is even, the road is an urban-perimeter
>road; when odd, it's a sort of "trunk line" that zigs where the rest of
>the road
>zagged.

The honorable Smoot wins recognition as the highway numismatics guru on
Pynchon-L and a free copy of Pynchon's autobiography, "Trapped on
Gilligan's Isle."

Honorable mention goes to the first three correct (but not as detailed)
accounts: Tod Mahony, Vincent J Varo, and Aaron Yeater.

What is most appealing about young folks, after all, is the changes, not
the still photographs of finished character but the movie, the soul in
flux.  -- Thomas Pynchon
