Road Sign Math

This submission comes to RSM from first time submitter Chris Tse. “I’ve been following the game for many months,” Chris writes. “And finally I have a sign worth submitting.”

Though the picture actually does not include any math, per say, Chris makes a strong argument for it’s inclusion in Road Sign Math. He writes:

First off, there is an obvious connection between the sign and the people posing below the sign. This connection could be expressed in a mathematical like way, for example:

Chris continues to point out that there are some other surprising relationships in the picture. For example, there are four girls and four guys and fifteen letters in the sign. So it only follows:

Chris recognized that some judgment would need to be made in validating and scoring the sign. “I recognize that the governing board of Road Sign Math might quibble about whether my friend Jarred, facing the camera, would qualify as an ‘official’ guy butt. You can’t really see his butt, not nearly as clearly as the others pictured. I know this is covered somewhat in the ‘field of view’ section of the rules, but I would argue that his butt is clearly visible in profile. Unlike a road sign, you don’t need to see the whole butt to know what it is. And as an added bonus it is being held by one of his companions which should count for something.”

The Road Sign Math Administrators were quick to jump into the fray. “I have to say that this sign really carries the spirit of the game,” one administrator said. “Like the sign that inspired RSM, Genesis, this submission really makes you stop and think.”

While stopping short of suggesting submissions of silly signs or signs featuring the posteriors of RSM enthusiasts, RSM judges were clearly voting for the sign. “It’s a valid submission that won’t score big on the technical indicator but will top our elegance chart. Because if Driving + Math = Fun, Driving + Ass = AWESOME.”
