[UPDATE: Just round the answer to the nearest whole number - sorry about the confusion.]

OK - here's how this works.

Find the answer to this question and then write it down somewhere. In notepad, wordpad, or [whatever]pad.

Do not write your answer in the comments section. That'd just be very un-good.

Later today (Friday), I'm going to post a form in which you'll be able to enter and submit your answers.

[Note: Part of the answer to this question can be found at www.msdnevents.com, and part you're going to have to google for (or already know)]

Question #3

To answer this question, you'll have to do the following:

1. Find the MSDN Event that's taking place on November 18, 2004 in Oregon - note its address

2. Find the MSDN Event that's taking place on December 16, 2004 in Washington - note its address

3. Head over to MSN Maps and Directions (it's important that we all use the same mapping software to come up with the same answer, so don't use MapQuest or whatever else!)

4. Map the driving directions between these two locations and make a note of the distance between them

5. Find out how many furlongs per minute you would have to drive in order to make this trip in two hours

6. Convert the value to binary - this is your answer (because it's possible, although unlikely, that some mapping information might change between now and the time you make your entry, I'm going to allow for answers within a certain range - if you're "close enough," then it's good enough)

Write the answer down, and wait for me to put up the entry form...
