Challenges

Challenge 1: 70°F

You are invited to watch Top Gear at Cory's house
at 7pm on Monday, January 24th, 2011.

This season, we will find out whose car is the best.
This week, the best car is the one with the best climate control.

Your challenge is to arrive with your car's interior's
surface temperature at a comfortable 70°F.  You will be given
50 points for participating and lose one point for every degree
Fahrenheit you are away from the target temperature
upon arrival.

Each person's car was measured with a cheap infra-red thermometer in three places: the passenger seat back, the most central passenger-side dashboard air vent, and the side of the steering wheel at 3 o'clock. The three samples were measured, and each person received the difference between 70 and that average, rounded to the nearest integer.

It was in the ballpark of zero degrees Fahrenheit outside while measuring the results of this challenge.

Challenge 2: Music

You are invited to watch Top Gear at Cory's house
tonight at 7pm on Monday, January 31st, 2011.

You will be given points for the size of the music selection
available in your car.  Before arriving, count (or estimate,
if necessary) the number of audio tracks available to play
through your vehicle's speakers at any one time.
Assume your nation's leader has disabled all means
of Internet access.

The five people with the biggest collections get 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 points, respectively.
