My high school math teacher was always trying to tell us that trigonometry had many practical applications and now when one finally arrives, I have no idea where to begin, so I'll have to take a zero on question one, but I have answers for 4, 5, and 6:

4. 1929
5. The UMD Field House
6. Taavo Virkhaus

Here is the answer to those, as per the cards...
1915 (but the cards have been wrong before)
UMD Gym
Taavo Virkhaus

Any guesses on the first three?

The cards say... twenty five miles

thirty three

The discrepancy on number two means we need Tony and Zenith City Online...  Tony?
