Go on...
The only reason I answered is because I was expecting something to be "non-obvious" and I was interested in knowing what it was.
I certainly wouldn't count the additional officials as being "on the pitch", so surely it's only 22 players and 1 referee?
And not sure how the pass distance can be wrong, surely that is just corner to corner?

Corner to corner yes - not a straight line though 
(This question was from a real pub quiz and very nearly caused a fight)

I did consider that, but how would it be possible to know? Depends how high you can kick the ball... or is there technically a maximum "legal height" for a ball? Though that would be pretty difficult to enforce. Hence you can only really give a point-to-point answer.
I guess you could kick it to one corner and then a strong gust of wind could send it right back to the original corner doubling the length... but then maybe the wind suddenly changes direction and sends it back yet again.

I think you are getting confused with the maximum number of pairs of lucky pants a single player is allowed to wear.

1) Football isn't played with boots, but with shoes, right? so 0 I reckon.
2) Is that with an African swallow or a European swallow?

1. There are 22 players and 3 referees, so max 50 football shoes.
2. Pythagor tells me 125.096m, even if such a pass is very probably not legal because the player getting it has a high change to be offside.

1) 45 - 22 players + the ref. but the player who takes the kick-off realistically has to have one foot in the air at the time of kick-off.
2) It's hard to say as the ball will travel horizontally and vertically and may well bend a bit on the way. Generally speaking, though, it's the distance between Paul McGrath and whoever is on the other end of the pass: a distance that can only be calculated by using either a complex missile tracking system or Paul McGrath's brain.

Hey everyone, I'm the new CodeProject contest manager. We were throwing around a few ideas for our next challenge - something quick and easy - and we came up with the Summer Fun With Arduino[^] challenge. So here we go, June is Arduino month! Entry is simple and you get to make something with flashy lights. We're giving away $5000 in prizes. Give it a shot!

Is there anything I can do here using my Visual Studio 64-bit?

Certainly, any IoT related Article is acceptable.

Welcome aboard!
When does my free Arduino arrive, and how do I get it out of the email? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I knew a Quantum Mechanic once. He took a look at my black hole and told me my big end had gone.

I'm very glad to see the IoT contest again this year (and looks even better this year).
Thanks for all the great stuff at CP.
I've already begun work on the first challenge. It's a lot of fun.
