Lusk Reservoir is located next to Michie Stadium at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

The volume of the reservoir is required knowledge of all freshmen (plebes) at the Military Academy.

plebes are expected to respond "78 million US gallons (300,000 m3) when the water is flowing over the spillway."

The proper answer had been 92.2 million US gallons (349,000 m3) until construction of Michie Stadium reduced it to its current size.

[1] Prior to 1930, the school's ice hockey team used the reservoir as their home rink during the winter months.
