QuoteMarch 17, 2019: For St. Patrick's Day, road signs that contain the name of a city/town in Ireland or Northern Ireland.

Clarification: The sign does not have to use the city/town name as a destination. For example, street signs are fine.

I know there's debate on whether it's Derry or Londonderry... here's both!



Looking at a map of Ireland, there were several minor towns in Ireland that I thought I had photos of, but I didn't (e.g. Milford).

This trippy photo in Parke Co., IN, was taken at dusk. Something happened with the lighting to give it a hazey outline.

QuoteMarch 21, 2019: Road photos containing multiples of 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. Continue higher for a bonus.
Yes, a single 2310 would qualify. 0 is excluded from this challenge due to making everything trivial.



104 is a multiple of 2 and 13.
495 is a multiple of 3, 5, and 11.
14 (exit number) is a multiple of 7.


24 is a multiple of 2 and 3.
140 is a multiple of 5 and 7.
There is an Exit 11 in the distance.



2, 3, 5, and 7 are in multiple places. 495 is a multiple of 11. (I believe the sign in the background is Exit 20, Route 139 – no 13 there, and there's no speed limit 65 sign anywhere in the photo.)

So is this an accurate restatement/clarification of the challenge?

Post a picture containing multiples of as many of the first n consecutive prime numbers as possible.  The same number in the picture can "cover" multiple primes.  So a qualifying picture could contain any even number, or any multiple of 2 and multiple of 3, of any multiple of 2, 3, and 5, etc.  And we're aiming to get multiple of as many of the first consecutive primes represented in a single photo as possible.  The leader so far is a single picture with multiples of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.  To "beat" that a single photo needs to show multiples of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17.  Numbers can appear anywhere (route numbers, distances, speed limits, exit numbers, etc.).
Photos I post are my own unless otherwise noted.

Yes, but the photo must get to at least 11 to qualify for the thread.
