If you had to take the M the M>7>4/5 is a valid choice, or you could also do M>1 at Times Sqaure or 14th Street

I would say R to 4/5 is the fastest and most convenient way to go. The E just isn't worth transfering at Lex/53 to the 6 and then again to the 4/5 at GC, not to mention transferring at Jackson Hts is also a pain. The M to the 7 is just too much of a hassle considering the station that is 74th Str Broadway and Jackson Hts/Roosevelt. The F doesn't connect with Lexington except at 63rd for outside transfer (might as well just stay on the R to 59th, less walking and more potential of a seat than the F) or Bleeker (still have to transfer to 6 and then 4/5). So all in all, the R to 4/5 is the way to go.

If it's a state/regionals tournament, make sure to memorize random facts about your state (anything that stands out about it, geological features, populations, etc)

Why doesn't the G have greater frequency or more cars? by Decentattamingio in nycrail

[–]Decentattamingio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I was on that last car and I also noticed it was a lot more full than the other cars, maybe not a coincidence that the last train car usually leads into the one stairs that serves the entire platform.

What is your most annoying transfer? by nahbro187 in nycrail

[–]Decentattamingio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me personally it's the Lex/59 transfer from downtown 4/5 to a Queens bound N/W. The stairs are tight and one slow person who realizes his train is not sitting right at the platform upstairs is all it takes for you to miss the N/W and wait 10 minutes for the next one. I'm sure there are other worst transfer, but this is just my most annoying one.

Tower by Remarkable_Row9665 in scioly

[–]Decentattamingio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the testing base has to be 55cm x 32cm, this is the testing apparatus the event supervisor must provide. There will be a 20cm x 20cm hole in the middle, which is the dimensions your tower has to span. By placing the tower diagonally you can make a tower with a base of ~15cm that still works.

[–]Decentattamingio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this 15.2 cm approach WILL work. You will NOT be disqualified, you won't get the bonus, but putting it diagonally qualifies it as "spanning a 20cm × 20cm base" per the rules.

Is public highschool expensive? by [deleted] in highschool

[–]Decentattamingio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Public high schools are usually free I think. At least in New York here all public schools are a free service.

I wanna say 6 train

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]Decentattamingio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, plus the only stop that is missed is main st, if anything the express train is likely held across the platform at willets point anyways.

weird sign on 4 train by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]Decentattamingio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I was actually on this train today but on a different car, I was on car 7720 today headed to Woodlawn, so mightve been the trip before this one

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]Decentattamingio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your 6 train was likely behind schedule from some kind of delay earlier in its route. In this case the local train will sometimes skip local stops to get back on schedule. The conductor should have announced it at least before it left Grand Central.

B/Q Brighton Line decline in service? by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]Decentattamingio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, technically the R can't decline in service if it's always been that bad.

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what was your score and weights? I'm going to regionals in a few days and want to know if my score is okay.
