RI # ANSWER

                        EXPLANATION   /      MARCH FORTH XXXV SYNOPSIS

2 N Eastbound on Golf, you find Portillos where the sign also says BEER which you can not use.
4 Y GIs say 62=ALQONGUIN, sign says ALGONQUIN, but either way it is still 62; on course does RI4.
6 N Bennett only exists to your left and is not a crossroad so this is not a traffic signal by definition.
13 N GIs say never go right AT Bond, so you should have turned left on Bond from Criss Circle.  You
    are still AT Bond when you reach Higgins, so you go left at that point by GIs instead of by RI13.
    Off course went right on Bond from Criss, then left on Lee, left on Scott and left on Higgins.
15 N First sideroad after Oakton is marked as Brummel; sign contains RUM so can't be used making
    it an unnamed road, which does not fit the sideroad definition. 
16 N If you asked the rallyemaster at the starting point for any addenda, you received a valid one which
    instructed you to go right on Howard.  Addenda has higher precedence so you don't do RI16.
18 Y On a building to your right along Bonnie you do find a lit "SIGN".
19 N Bonnie and Landmeier is a tee; obvious route is Right at tee so RI19 is redundant here.
23 N After going right on Touhy, you find Estes.  ST=AV and AVE=LA., making Estes=Elas where GIs
    say you should turn right.  On course goes right on Lively and left on Greenleaf; off course passes
    Estes on Touhy,  goes right on Lively, left on Estes, right on 83, then left on Greenleaf.
25 Y Sign along Greenleaf east of Busse, quoted in part from "chicagO PALlet".
29 Y After going right on Elmhurst and left on Coyle, you find an intersection at Greenleaf where the
    sign reads "3 Way".  To the right is a parking lot; all available compass headings are required
    to stop, fitting the definition of a 4-way.  Note traffic from the parking lot also has a stopsign!
30 N Although the next intersection looks like a tee, the right is labeled no outlet so you have no
    chance to go left and it is not a tee by our definition.
32 Y Westbound on Landmeier approaching Busse you find a sign "ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY";
    leaving off the first ON and the last LY, it reads "LYON LYON LYON LYON'.
35 BLANK This instruction is in parentheses and is helpful information and not an official part of the rallye.
37 Y There is something else to consider about the instruction in parentheses.  After executing RI33
    by going left on Lively, the next three numbered RIs apply.  The next 3 are not 34, 35 and 36; they
    are 35, 36 and 37.  On course does RI37 as soon as they find Fargo, off course continues on to
    Chase where they do RI 34 and also find "Rollex".
38 N From either Fargo or Chase, all cars find Tonne.  A divided road is to be as 2 separate roads.
    At the first Tonne, you can legally go right or straight; at the second Tonne, you can only legally go
    left, which is straight as possible, making RI38 redundant with obvious route and not executable.
43 N GIs say 'there ain't no Morse' which translates into 'there is not no Morse' and in other words
    there is Morse (double negative becomes a positive).  On course turns left after Lunt on Morse
    and off course goes left after Lunt on Pratt.  Everyone turns right at the traffic signal at Busse
    and Pratt; on course goes west on Pratt from Busse, off course goes south on Busse from Pratt.
    On course does left on Lively before finding Devon, not executing RI43.
46 Y Starting at Lively and Devon, there are 3 possible courses of action.  The applicable GI for this
47 Y section is to salute (turn left on) Mark.  First - at Lively, if you fail to notice there is no sign for Mark,
scored together you could turn left on Mark from Lively, then go right on Katherine (RI45)and left on Lively (RI47).
    Second - if you forget  the GI to salute Mark entirely, you would go Left on Kirk (RI46), right at tee on
    Mark, then right at tee on Busse.  Third - you realize the first street is not labeled Mark and go left on
    Kirk (RI46), find Mark at Katherine and go left there by GI, then left on Lively (RI47) for the correct
    correct on course exeution.  All cars go right on Thorndale(from Busse or Lively; RI48 not scored.)
49 N The GIs tell you to observe all posted speed limits, which has precedence over RI49.
51 Y Sign along Prospect for familY EYE care can be quoted in part as "YEYE".
54 N After going right on Robin, the very first street is Diane!  Since it is named for the rallyemaster
    you should honor Diane by going right there.  Offcourse passes Diane, goes right on Chester
    instead, then all go left on Helen (from either Diane or Chester), then left on Rohlwing.
58 N Simple spelling gimmick!  Street sign along Schaumburg Road is Bar Harbour, not Harbor.
59 N Hope you noticed the GPS cartoon posted at the starting point.  The lower right side of that
    posting said 'addenda  Right on Plum Grove.'  Addenda is higher in precedence than RI59.
61 N After going left on Higgins, there is a lighted sign which reads 'Park & Ship' , but the ampersand
    is artwork which does not exist on the sign and can't be read as quoted in RI61.
62 N GIs say Diane is 58 today.  58=Golf, so Diane is also Golf.  This is another road named for the
    rallyemaster.  You should go right to honor Diane, not executing RI62.
63 Y Although the GIs tell you what to do when you are inside the building, they do not provide an
    instruction to enter the parking lot; you must execute RI63 here.
Question Unknown The endpoint worker asks you a question when you arrive; what is the speed limit along Rohlwing?
    GIs say observe (see and remember) all posted speed limits; there are several signs along.
    Rohlwing, but they all include a "No Parking" which makes them nonexistent (separate signs on
    the same structure are the same sign).  The correct answer is you don't know!
