James Bernard brings only the 2nd ever mathematically significant roadsign from Colorado. Colorado is an amazingly challenging state to play Road Sign Math. Mr. Bernard had passed this sign many, many times. Every time he thought “darn, so close!”

Mr. Bernard churned on this sign for a while, and then it hit him! The cosine of 720 is 1!

\sqrt{24 + \cos((\sqrt{9})!)!} = 5

This sign is on Highway 40 in Colorado, about 25 miles north of I-70. See sign on map!

Ed.: Congratulations to Mr. Bernard for his inaugural sign. His first sign submission was the only sign to have been posted and then revoked as a winner. Not only does Mr. Bernard come to the game with a solid winner this time, he has also registered the 2nd highest scoring sign yet! The high score isn’t even aided by a first in region bonus!
