But alas, not a timely answer...a couple of people did slip in some responses, so the August 4th Challenge shut down at midnight, as usual.

Spam

Midnight which time zone? Midnight is occurring in less than half a hour for me, and I'm in CEST (UTC+2), although for the purposes of this forum I've adopted a time six hours behind my local time (which most of the year is the same as Eastern, but is Central for about a month, both for a hour and neither one for another, a byproduct of using different DST rules).

Your own time zone. This means that some in California can still post a valid photo if it is barely past midnight where I live. However, 8:54 AM and 2:35 PM (EST)? They were definitely posting on August 5, not August 4, so the responses were invalid.

Right, it's according to your own time zone–that is, whichever one you use for forum purposes. That's intentional, so that we can squeeze a little more out of each day.

Going left or right will take you ouest (roundabout in Magog, QC)


Staying left or right will take you east/est (in Ottawa, ON)

Going straight or right will take you est (roundabout in Magog, QC)

Going left or straight will take you sud (roundabout in Wakefield, QC)

I should've probably specified that I meant directly opposite directions, ie 180°.

I love this photo.  It is amazing all the feats of engineering, the planning, etc. that went into what we see here.

Oops, well I changed the first photo to another nearby roundabout and deleted the second one.

I'm glad I snuck this photo out the passenger's side window as my buddy was driving.  This is across the river from Huntington, WV.

My apologies.  My Internet was broken for a couple of days, so I was behind schedule.

'S alright. :-) There are still several dates open where no Challenge was posted, if you've just got a one-off to throw out there.



Oh, and speaking of dates still open...

August 9, 2017: Today is 8/9/17. 8+9=17. Post a picture of three route signs in which two of them add up to the third.

Amazed that I found 3 of these.  It helps to look for smaller numbers first.

Challenge: Post groups of route shields in which the digits of 2 (or more) of them combine in the same order as the digits of the third.

For example: a sign showing shields for routes 12, 3, and 123. Route type doesn't matter, but arrangement does–they have to read in the same order. (So you couldn't use a photo of routes 3, 12 and 123. But you could use routes 1, 2, 3 and 123.)

Lol I just posted this same photo 3 days ago.  It's the perfect example of this, since OH-527 was numbered because of its connection to US52 and OH-7.  I think there are a few more examples of this across America, where a 3 digit number is specifically chosen based on the two highways it connects.  52 - 7 - 527
