Atlantic City Expressway Brigantine Connector, Atlantic City, Exit... hey, wait a second.

(Yes, that was actually my turn. Feel free to play a Missouri supplementary route or something.)
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

B isn't a number.

(And before you ask, e and i can only be played if they are actually intended to be 2.71828... and √-1, not letters. Roman numerals are allowed as long as it's the only number in the sign element, such as Some Person III St.)
Clinched, plus MA 286

Traveled, plus several state routes

Lowest untraveled: 25 (updated from 14)

New clinches: MA 286
New traveled: MA 14, MA 123

I thought anything other than whole numbers were verboten; no fractions/decimals can be played.

Exit ¼ mile or ½ mile has been played a few times. It's definitely not common, and there have been no number to number matches so far for fractions (as far as I know), but it's allowed.

The rulings say that 2.5 matches 2½; that statement has been there since almost the beginning.

Sure it is! 9 + 2 = B.

(But I'm guessing hex-to-decimal conversions aren't allowed. Shame, because I don't have an 873 to play, but I do have a 369. :))

So I assume I cannot do the following:
Say I play a number that is a distance to a MO supplemental route. would it be invalid for the next play to be the MO supplemental route in question?

IMO, that would seem workable. Then it could be UNO'd with a square route sign from elsewhere.  But I'm not in charge, so I have no influence.

Correct.  That couldn't be done, but not for the reason you think.

PLAY 1 = Interstate [635] reassurance marker
PLAY 2 = Interstate [15] on an overhead BGS
PLAY 3 = Square shield [K] 15 miles on a distance sign
PLAY 4 = Square shield [K]

In this scenario, the actual play in PLAY 3 is "15 miles", because that's what followed from I-15.

PLAY 4 can therefore not be made for two reasons:
15 does not match K in number.
miles does not match square shield in "suit".
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Remember, you can only play from a secondary numerical element in a photo if it's possibly to play from the primary element TO the secondary element.

Example:  A photo contains Michigan Routes 51 and 62, played for M-51 since the previous photo was Arizona 51.  The featured/primary element is M-51.  You can play US62, but only because you can play M-51 to M-62.

Counterexample:  A photo contains US26 and Oregon 35, played from Wisconsin 26.  US26 is the primary element, so you can play from that--however, you can't play from Oregon 35, because you can't play from US26 to Oregon 35.

Hope that makes sense.
