For the railroads, maybe use ruby's truncation of integers...

(x + 5) / 10 * 10 + 5

...which is weird to simplify because of the truncation, of course.

For the Monopoly board layout, I've been a little confused trying to
come up with a mathematical pattern for it, starting with a folded
board and moving on to numbers and fractals.  If there's a pattern
there, I'm officially not and never even came close to be "rain man"
:-)

It may be an overlaid clockwise vs. counter-clockwise position setup
to make the moves more random, but I still don't see it in this game.
Darn! I really wanted to master this quiz elegantly!

I'll do this one on my own time, I think, and thank you, Matthew for
hosting the quiz.  Especially this one, because it made me rethink my
own version of the Monopoly game.

Cheers,
Todd
