The replies I got ranged from: A Fair is held: Whenever somebody with enough money approaches the Fair committee. Therefore, irregular intervals A Fair is held: Every 4 years with interim years having smaller expositions concerning a single topic (Energy) A Fair is held: Every 10 years with interim years having smaller subjects. It was also said that 2*4 + 1984 = 1992 Chicago. Therefore, New Orleans is in the mold of every four years. From memory, I thought there was a 1933 Worlds Fair in New York and Seattle in the 60's. I also know that Knoxville had an exposition last year and am not sure if they were originally opened in 1982. Oh well, looks like the Fair people want the public to keep guessing. Thanks again to all those who responded. P. A. Fargo AT&T Bell Laboratories IH
