That's not exactly a fact......

.....and rubbed it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people in this area but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology.  Here it goes now, the circular motion.  Rub it!

The highest numbered highway on the Swedish network is Route 404, which  is but 15 kilometers long, and runs from a junction with highway 99 at Muodoslompolo to the Finnish border at the Torne River, where it becomes the (short) Finnish secondary highway 954, which then intersects with Highway 21/E8 (the customs building on the Finnish side is rarely, if ever, used any longer since both nations are EU members).

astonishingly, I have it clinched.

My phone pronounces emoticon as /i-mō-ti-kən/ rather than /i-mō-ti-kän/.  It drives me nuts.  Of course, I only make it read my texts aloud to annoy humor my wife....

That is very cool. 

The highways of the provinces of Norrland (Sweden) and Lapland (Finland) are on my bucket list (I have not driven Sweden's Highway 404).

it's likely the only road in that area I have clinched.  (well, apart from the short connector 954).  I have a good handful of roads clinched in Norway, but I'd have to look up to see which ones they are.  I have about half of E-6 done in the entire country: Narvik to Kirkenes, and the south end (at Swedish border) to Innset.

E6 is a l-o-n-g ride from the Swedish border to Kirkenes.  Lots of spectacular scenery on the way.

There is only one even prime number.

There is only one even prime number.

There are no known odd perfect numbers.  But there is no proof yet that there can't be odd perfect numbers.

[hm insulators]

My body isn't perfect.

[kphoger]

Is it prime?

[kj3400]

Past it possibly. Maybe it's composite.

[mgk920]

There is only one even prime number.

Aside from that one, all prime numbers must end in either 1, 3, 7 or 9.

5 is prime...

[agentsteel53]

no it isn't.  5 has two factors besides one and itself.  one is Alan.

[exit322]

no it isn't.  5 has two factors besides one and itself.  one is Alan.

That's only recognized in the Perkins Union.  Everywhere else considers 5 prime.

It's roadgeeky, but here's an interesting fact.

Before 2000, when Georgia went to distance exit numbering, DeKalb County had 3 Exit 35's, all involving I-285:

I-85, Exit 35 (the infamous Spaghetti Junction) is for I-285

BUT the other two are the same interchange:

I-20 Exit 35 is for I-285 AND I-285 Exit 35 is for I-20

And in adding to the previous poster, a video I made:

That's nothing. Despite the fact that it's one mile west of Exit 1 on 195, Trenton NJ has I-295 Exit 60 the same as I-195 Exit 60!
