Abstract
Problems about the American city road-system with its streets running east and west and its avenues running north and south have appeared from time to time in examination papers and are interesting because they give relations between binomial coefficients which are harder to get by straightforward algebra. After illustrating some of the methods by which difficult-looking results can be obtained simply, I shall obtain a simple-looking result with difficulty and ask for an easier way of getting it.Keywords
