How were sports broadcasted in the 70s?

Pretty much the same ones as you'd have now, with the exception of a lot of the Extreme Sports, many of which, in their current incarnations, were invented in the interim. You would have skateboarding and, in fact, I believe, the first skateboarding revival--but you would not have snowboarding. At least partially due to the match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King, tennis became enormously popular. At least partially due to Dorothy Hammill's haircut, so did figure skating. The same could be said for Marc Spitz and his swimsuit. There's an important horse in here--maybe Secretariat?--that did the same for horse racing. And, of course, in some parts of the country, Roller Derby was still taken seriously.

What did people do in their spare time in the 1970's?

When you get to the 1970's, you will blend in well if you go to arcades and play video games. Pinball will also still be available. After that you can go to the disco and dance the night away. If you want to stay in, watching "Dallas", "The Love Boat", or "Fantasy Island" is the thing to do. If you're lucky enough to get back to the early 70's, definitely go streaking. You'll really blend in then.

What is the value of 1975 5 PTAS coin?

Presuming that you are referring to a 1957 5 peseta coin from Spain, the answer depends on the condition and on the year of mintage. The 1957 date refers to the date of authorization - the mintage date is actually located on the back, incused in the star located to the left of the eagle (it is very small; you will almost certainly need a magnifying glass). The date is two digits (the initial "19" is implied), and will be between "58" and "75". It is also possible that there will be a "BA" in place of the star. The BA date is worth (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins), about US$100 in Very Fine condition, US$150 in Extremely Fine condition, US$225 in Uncirculated condition and US$300 in Brilliant Uncirculated. With a couple of exception, the other dates are worth less than a dollar unless they are in Uncirculated condition or better (the exceptions are the 63 - worth about US$15 in Extremely Fine conditon - and the 58, 61, and 66, which are worth about US$3 each in the same condition). In Uncirculated, values are about: 1963-US$125, 1958-US$50, others 1959 to 1966-US$10 to 25, 1967 to 1972-US$2-5, and 1973 to 1975-US$1. Values roughly double in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

Why are there fewer left handers than right handers?

Since the first world war there has been a fanatical move towards regimentation. This included hair colour eye colour and height. experiments were hideous and barbaric. School classroom activities were inhibitive towards left handed children. the fanatical quest for uniformity called for the child to be punished for usiong the left hand and a pencil was repeatedly placed in the child's left hand. I nelieve i was one of those children. It causes mental development challenges but if overcome can result in expanded left brain right brain activity and a good degree of ambidextrous skills. those 10000 top ranking gestapo and nazi agents that escaped after the war successfully slipped into north and south america. we bear their horrid legacy of regimented insanity hope this helps you see the light Jet
