			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s nice to see the site back up and running.  I discovered this right as it went dormant and have been eager to participate.</p>
<p>These signs are found on Cedar Street in Millville, New Jersey just as one pulls into Lakeside Middle School.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.roadsignmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/busesonly.jpg" /></p>
<p>Zoom of the bottom part of this sign shows an extensive array of numbers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.roadsignmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/busesonlyzoom.jpg" /></p>
<p>The math here is borderline crazy to deal with the huge number of numbers in this sign. Nineteen numbers in all may be a new record!</p>
<div class="math">3 \times (26-17) \times ( (30-26) &#8211; ( (45+30+20) &#8211; ( (367-226) &#8211; ( {{6576-2001} \over { {{45} \over {7+2}} }} &#8211; 866 ) ) ) ) = (8+1) \times 3</div>
<p>Ahhh, yeah. Right. Let&#8217;s reduce this down and see if it really works.</p>
<div class="math">3 \times 9 \times ( 4 &#8211; ( 95 &#8211; ( 141 &#8211; ( {4575 \over { 5 }} &#8211; 866 ) ) ) ) = (8+1) \times 3</div>
<div class="math">3 \times 9 \times ( 4 &#8211; ( 95 &#8211; ( 141 &#8211; 49 ) ) ) = (8+1) \times 3</div>
<div class="math">3 \times 9 \times 1 = (8+1) \times 3</div>
<div class="math">27 = 27</div>
<p>Whew, that&#8217;s a trip through math class!</p>

<p>Mr. Southworth freely admits that he shot this photo and figured the math out later. This solution wasn&#8217;t an epiphany while going down the road at 70 miles an hour. He noticed the 71 + 10 first, realizing that was 81 which is easily 9 via a square root. The rest came together nicely! Hats off for the use of the factorial! !&nbsp;&nbsp; !&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !</p>

<p>Steven Francis recently discovered Road Sign Math and has been searching for valid signs since, and found this one to send in for his first winner. Mr. Francis is a math teacher, so buckle your seat belts fans, it&#8217;s going to get a little crazy.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/import/signs/2006/20061126-Rivera.jpg" border="0" height="265" width="349"></p>
<p>Mr. Francis submits this formula as the winner for the sign. It&#8217;s well done, exercising a rare use of exponents.</p>
<div class="math">3^{7-6} = \sqrt{9}</div>
<p>Mr. Francis also identified these formulas as straightforward ways to make the sign work.</p>
<div class="math">7 &#8211; \sqrt{9} \div 3 = 6</div>
<div class="math">7 + 6 \div 3 = 9</div>
<p>Now Mr. Francis decided to fire up the engines and have some fun. This formula doesn&#8217;t seem to violate any rules, but even Mr. Francis was worried that it didn&#8217;t match with the spirit of the game.</p>
<div class="math">\int_3^6 {(x \cdot x) dx } = 7 \cdot 9</div>
<p>Reasoning this out&#8230;</p>
<div class="math">\int_3^6 {(x \cdot x) dx } = \int_3^6 {x^2}dx = {1 \over 3}x^3\big|_3^6 = </div>
<div class="math">{1 \over 3 } (6^3 &#8211; 3^3) = {1 \over 3}(216 &#8211; 27) = {1 \over 3} (189) = 63 = 7 \cdot 9</div>
<p>Whew! Extra points if you are actually able to follow that!</p>
<p>This sign is found at the end of a service road that meets Passons Boulevard in Pico Rivera, <a title="See signs from California!" href="/category/41.aspx">California</a> between the Sheriff&#8217;s station and El Rancho high school where Mr. Francis works. <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/map/map.asp?id=224">See sign on map!</a></p>
