Years of Training
After dinner, we went back to M's place. Joe was coming over to play Tetris with his snowboard. While waiting, nNc and I played some ping pong. Man, do we suck.
Joe arrived and we spent a good 30-40 minutes out by the cars trying to figure out the best way to fit 5 people and a snowboard in a car. First, they tried the obvious solution, the trunk. Technically, there was enough space for the board in the trunk, but the way the trunk was shaped, it wouldn't fit. We tried going through the inside of the car first to get the board to fit, but there was always something blocking the last few inches.
They then tried putting the board in the back seat which worked but resulted in very uncomfortable and very little room for the rear passangers. Under my amazing Tetris skills, I suggested they rotate the board so it was more flush with the window. This solution was the optimal one.
Horray for years of "training"!
