This game requires good eyesight and a simple knowledgability on license plates.
First, although I don't have them all memorized, I do know that each county is numbered according the county, alphabetically & numerically.
I believe that Indiana is the only state that does this, but when I learned of it a few years ago I was really intrigued so I looked it up.
Each county is assigned a number, based on it's alphabetical place.
Adams county is 1
Allen is 2
Huntington is 35
Marion is 49, and since Indianapolis takes up all of Marion, 93, 95 & 97-99 are numbered for it as well.
Well, this explains it much better.

Basically, this game is where I try to learn as many of them as I can and then see if I can remember them when I spot them on the road.
I see a lot of 1s, 2s, 17s, 35s, & 90s... because 2 is Allen (my county) and the rest are the surrounding counties.
It's quite interesting to see just how many county numbered plates you see in a day. You can tell where people have driven from in the past day or two.
Second "Game"
Everybody here who's renewed a license plate knows they give you a year sticker to put on your plate which tells you your tags aren't expired. Apparently, people are big enough idiots to not notice that they pull the sticker off and put it on the plate so that it covers the day and month of the expiration date. So they're basically driving around with a plate that says "06" "04" instead of "7-31" "06".
These are the people I have fun laughing at. The sheer stupidity behind this phenomenon is enough to make my day. It really is.
