No, it means you are part of the way to answering question 5.

No, it means you are part of the way to answering question 5. Ok, I've found different answers to the heaviest locomotive in the world, but one that comes up in the searches I've done is the Big Boy Union Pacific with a total weight of 1,250,000 lbs. = 567,000 kg = 625 tonnes. Subtracting 1 gives us 624 and 62 2/5 when divided by 10. Am I on *track* here, or should I stick with my day job of teaching literature?

You are definitely on the right track but the list I used had a different locomotive at the top.

By the halfway point, do you mean half of 66? No. The clue is: "Identify the halfway point along something to do with this number." Think of something to do with 66 that could have a halfway point along it.

Think of something to do with 66 that could have a halfway point along it. The halfway point in US Route 66 is Adrian, Texas. A town can't have a boyfriend, and while Adrian is more commonly a man's name, it was the name of Talia Shire's character in "Rocky," same spelling, too. In the original Rocky movie, Adrian's boyfriend was Robert "Rocky" Balboa.
