Title: Concurrency of x, x+y, x+2y
Post by: hotdogPi on October 23, 2013, 04:45:35 PM
For example, Montreal has 10, 15, and 20.

Indianapolis has 37, 52, 67 (along with many others).

***For people that don't know what I mean***

To put it another way, this thread is looking for overlaps of three routes, in which the middle route number is exactly halfway between the lowest and highest route numbers.

These number pattern threads are now getting ridiculous...

for x = 1, y = 0, route 1 shares its alignment with route 1 and with route 1 across all route 1s everywhere.

except that place in Tasmania.

I didn't realize we had so many frustrated algebra teachers out here.

I took my "C" in junior-year high school calculus and never took another math class again. Stuff like that makes my head hurt.

I took a "C- / D+" in 10th and 11th grade math. I despise math. Then I made the idiot mistake of taking it again 12th grade. I passed with a 66. Didn't even care.

What is the thread even asking? When a route concurrency occurs at x (a route), then x+y (uh, what the hell is Y in this situation), then x+2y (double whatever Y was?). Ugh, this is the stuff I try to avoid on a daily basis. I'm glad the only 'complex' math I need in my job is percentages.

Oh, I don't mind the math.  I just think number pattern threads are running dry.

Weren't 1, 2, and 3 originally multiplexed in Boston? Or was that 1, 2A, and 3? Set A=1.

Prior to 1971; 1, 2 & 3 were indeed multiplexed along a short-stretch of all connected at Memorial Drive west of Mass Ave. at the B.U. bridge in Cambridge; but no multiplex.  The Mass Ave. bridge across the Charles River was originally MA 2.

But 3 left Mem Drive at the BU Bridge: http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~212215~5500292:Shell-Map-of-Metropolitan-Boston-an http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~212217~5500293:Downtown-Boston--Sightseeing-Guide- http://www.schlichtman.org/mahighways/boston52.html

Anyone have an example with y=0?

Thanks for the correction and old map links; I've since corrected my previous post to reflect such.

US 23, 24, 25 once overlapped north of Toledo.

That would certainly be noteworthy, to the extent that we'd already be aware of it.

(Hint for folks who don't like doing math: the y=0 case NE2 suggested would mean three routes with the same number overlapping.)
