“Ah, here is a math question for you: Assuming that the crowd would never shut up then how many 15-yard penalties would it take to result in a ‘safety’ or a ‘touchdown’ in the other direction? ;-)”
Once inside the fifteen, the next penalty is to the 5, and the next is a touchdown. There is no kickoff, the ball is placed on the offending teams five yard line, first down. How many touchdowns till the crowd shuts up? Shouldn’t be more than one or two.
Alternatively, I’m not against a noise meter. When the noise exceeds a certain level, play is suspended until it drops below that level and remains there.
Nah, I hate to be the one to rain on your parade but that answer is incorrect.
There would never be a touchdown or a safety because of the ol’ ‘half-the-distance-to-the-goal-line’ penalty so that no matter how many times the crowd noise would be penalized, it would go on to infinity! ;-)
I simply love trick questions, don’t you? ;-)
