The days where it's two of the same digit are always the most difficult. But I didn't want to just cut them out of the challenge. Living next to a state where 3-digit routes are numbered as branches of the 2-digit routes helps...so long as the last two digits match those of the parent route. Indiana is a state like that, giving me a bit of an advantage on same-digit days like this...but Washington puts the parent route at the START of the three-digit route number, which is spitefully unhelpful to those bordering Washington. So... sorry about Washington
