the device is called a sextant. a quadrant is formed by slicing an area into four pieces. each peice is a quadrant. its similar to saying the french quarter, the downtown quarter, the business quarter, ect.

noise cancellation could be as simple as raising some walls, coating the stadium walls with rubber or other acoustic materials, or an reversed sound emmitter.

I just can't get around the fact that they have a Commissioner Gordon - maybe they have a Batman too! And a shiny red phone! yay!

But seriously folks, now we know they have the same months as us, it's just the way they count their years that's different.

it has to be a team mental competition. reasons: their culture sure is full of it, if it requires thinking- it wouldnt be good to have people making a whole bunch of noise in the stands (get sound cancelling devicies).

and of course, wouldnt it be fun to make fun of a friends favorite team because of their lack of intelligence Very Happy

The noise cancellation was for the surrounding neighborhood, rather than for the competitors. . . as I understood the article.
