Challenge for April 8th: a numbered highway that's also a Fibonacci Number

Here's a list:

Code Select Expand

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, 514229, 832040, 1346269, 2178309, 3524578, 5702887, 9227465, 14930352, 24157817, 39088169, 63245986, 102334155

I guess I'll include those other pictures that I was talking about.

US 89, approaching downtown Salt Lake City:



There is an 89/13 junction in Brigham City UT, but I don't have a photo from there with both numbers in it.

Don't know if this has been done before but here's what I was thinking.

Challenge for April 9th: A + B + C = < 100

60 + 10 + 9 = 79

I hope no one minds if I play off TBKS1's idea for today's challenge.

April 10, 2018: Post pictures containing one or more signs with as many numbers as possible (including numbers in route shields, exit numbers, distances, speed limits, etc.) where the numbers add up to a total of 100 or less.  All numbers on all signs in the photo count.

I'll start with one to show the idea and hopefully track down a few with a lot of small numbers on them later today.

9 numbers, 3+1+9+1+9+3+1+9+2 = 38.  From New Jersey 495.  July 9, 2007.



Too bad my picture just cut off the speed limit sign.  It would have gotten me another number and much closer to a total of 100.

First one I thought of, though I might have a better example elsewhere. 14 + 20 + 27 + 33 = 94. Taken on MN-238 northbound, just outside Albany.



Or this assembly, which I've posted in a couple different threads now, has eight numbers adding up to 97 (including the two fractions):

LaPorte, IN.  Do duplicates get counted twice?

Do duplicates get counted twice?

Jim, who posted the challenge, did, so I'd say yes.

[bassoon1986]

Well, only 3 numbers but you can't get much closer than 99.5

Easy enough.

9 + 10 + 3 + 7 = 29

Let me know if any of these don't count.

If you ignore the 95 in the far background (which should be okay given that the OP's example only uses the front two panels despite a third and part of a fourth being visible), 33+3+3+½+¼=39¾, or 42¾ if you include the "Stratham Exit 3B" sign to the right, with 5 and 6 numbers respectively.

Finally a chance to look for a couple more and it's turning out to be a more challenging challenge than I thought to get anything with more than 4 or 5 numbers to add up.

6 numbers on I-90 in Nassau, New York.  11+9+20+11+9+20 = 80.  October 5, 2007.



Ignoring the unreadable and obscured numbers on background signs, here's 8 numbers on I-95 in Massachusetts.  30+29+29+2+2+2+1+1/4 = 95 1/4.  January 14, 2012.



Here's a 5, but at least it's in Hawaii.  1+13+3+78+1 = 96.  August 22, 2006.

So, here's something that's sort of the opposite of what I suggested on April 9th.

Challenge for April 11th: A + B + C = > 1500

I don't have an example picture for this challenge but you get the point.

[Eth]

Challenge for April 11th: A + B + C = > 1500

985 + 985 + 985 = 2,955. It's cheap, and a crappy photo, but it works.

[formulanone]

9466 + 629 + 9470 = 19,565 somewhere along VA 30:

[Jim]

Challenge for April 11th: A + B + C = > 1500

I'm not at the level of the first couple examples, but it at least qualifies:

7 + 787 + 787 = 1581.  New York 7 East approaching the Collar City Bridge.  April 24, 2006.

[paulthemapguy]

Challenge for April 11th: A + B + C = > 1500

This ought to make the cut, since 750x2= exactly 1500 lol

750 + 750 + 71 = 1571

Challenge for April 11th: A + B + C = > 1500

865 + 465 + 465 = 1795 from I-65 in Indiana.  July 16, 2007.



880 + 80 + 980 = 1940 in Berkeley.   February 20, 2006.



768 + 460 + 460 = 1688 in Farmville, Virginia.  July 25, 2011.

[oscar]

Might be cheating a little when you have one or two route numbers each > 1500, but hey, formulaone did that too.

Like this one from Hawaii, 7101+7110+76 = 14287:



There are others from Hawaii in my inventory someplace, like 11+2000, 330+3400, 99+7101, and probably 380+3500.

April 12, 2018: Signs that look thin in the photo because the camera is facing the side of the sign (almost perpendicular) instead of the front face, but are still readable at this angle. This sign does not need to be the focus of the photo.

Photo focus: MA 150 unisign
Challenge qualifier: School St. street sign
