The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I heard a number...1.2M fans traveled here for the World Cup. Wow. Let's say a 747 carries 400 people. That's 3000 747s to get all those people here (and back when the tournament is over).

Three thousand in the span of a few days (prior to the first game). A quick check says that there are about 2000 international flights into the entire country every day. So it's almost 2 days of flight capacity assuming no one else except World Cup fans flew, and all of that was only in a few airports (where the games were to be played).

Glad the international fans seemed to have a good time, and loved the BBQ and Mexican food. :-)
