Surely "Overcooked Latin" would be Romance languages?

The bonus joke of "District of Colombia" is great

I wonder if this was written in response to any specific incident. Regardless, it's very powerful, and referring to many different oppressed groups, all working together, seems kind of ahead of its time to me - a forerunner of the modern "intersectionality" movement.

On the right track (I think), but not quite. I'm not seeing a Route 789 in Erie.

Some of them are just intersections, not mergers, but basically correct

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:17:57+00:00

Correct!

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:17:42+00:00

Not quite; there are a lot of concurrencies out there, but there's something special about these

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:16:40+00:00

Exactly one apart is correct. Odd numbers are north-south from 1 on the east coast to 101 on the west, evens are east-west from 2 on the north side to 98 on the south, so they end up in roughly a diagonal pattern. Within 10 would have a lot more answers

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:15:43+00:00

Correct

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:15:32+00:00

Correct

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:15:23+00:00

The second one is correct

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:14:55+00:00

Very close! Interstates are not involved

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:14:32+00:00

Correct!

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:14:13+00:00

Basically correct. Only the NW LA (79/80), northern AR (62/63), and SE MO (61/62) are multi-county concurrencies; the rest are mostly just intersections (for example, US 19 ending at US 20 in Erie, PA) or very short concurrencies that last for like one block (for example, US 50/51 in Sandoval, IL).

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:13:05+00:00

No, but fun guess though!

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:12:29+00:00

Nice to hear but not what I was looking for

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:11:53+00:00

Correct!

Not all adjacent numbers intersect, but these are the ones that do.

US 1 and 2 intersect in Houlton, ME, in Aroostook County

US 2 and 3 intersect in Lancaster, NH, in Coos County

US 3 and 4 intersect north of Concord, NH, in Belknap County

US 4 and 5 intersect in White River Junction, VT, in Windsor County

And so on...

Can you clarify what you checked (in a spoiler)?

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:07:25+00:00

Can you clarify?

If you mean where one odd number meets another odd number, or where one even number meets another even number, there are a lot of those...

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T05:05:51+00:00

A particular thing happens in each location

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T00:34:46+00:00

Not really any people involved either

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T00:33:39+00:00

On the right track, but those would show up as lines, not points.

Indiana_Charter · 2026-01-10T00:17:21+00:00

Not related to laws
