H.B. Elkins ticks off another state in the chase to put all 50 states on the map. This one is a squeker, almost in Arkansas but landing on the Missouri side.

Some quick math from the bottom up with a square root gets this one in the door.

\sqrt{25 - 9} = 4

This sign is at on US-71 southbound near the Arkansas border, just outside of Pineville, Missouri. See sign on map!

    Would it score higher if arranged as:

    sqrt(4)+sqrt(9)=sqrt(25)
