Brian Alliet finds another sign in Avon, New York, just west of Avon Trig.

Mr. Alliet tied the math together nicely here, avoiding any cancelation deductions nicely.

(20-5)\times(20+5) = 390-15

This sign is on NY15 southbound at the junction of NY5 and US-20, just slightly west of Avon Trig in Avon, New York. See sign on map!

    This sign also has a set of three consecutive numbers:

    24, 25, and 26:

    (20/5)! = 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 12*2 = 24

    20+5 = 25

    390/15 = 26

    Maybe this sign deserves more points for this?
