Is this what you mean? (Top sign)



US 20 (not MA 20), alpsroads

Yup–US 20; twenty letters. (Although I did say "shield", but I'll decline to prosecute in this case.)

The I-5 Salem one is my play here

I count twenty letters on that sign.

Hmm; I see the problem. I'll count "Interstate" as a tab or auxiliary panel, and thus not included in the total. Still, that leaves ten letters on the sign, so no cigar.

Challenge: Post signs containing a single route shield, where the number in the shield equals the number of letters in text on that sign.

Rules:
–Include only the text on the main sign panel, not any tabs or auxiliary panels.
–There can be other signs/shields in the photo, but apply the Challenge to only the principal sign.
–Variation: A second shield (or more) on the same sign can be allowed, if the number in each shield equals the number of letters in a separate word in the sign (i.e., not the sum of all letters), accounting for all words with no remainder. EXAMPLE: Shields for 4 and 6 can accompany a sign reading "Pine Valley" but not "South Utica" nor "Pine Valley Ridge".

Is not a sign containing a single route shield.
Also does not conform to the variation allowance.

Can't I just play this?

Re-doing because my first one was 10 letters on an I-5 sign.

Because the exit 135A is on a different sign, I did not include it in the count. 10:45 local time.

I dunno, guys...the Illinois and Minnesota shields don't contain a single route shield–they are a single route shield! But we'll give them honorable mention.

(But Illinois wins over Minnesota, because the "Minnesota" is in an auxiliary panel...)

haha  I think it's valid--a panel containing only a route shield still is a panel containing a route shield!  A route shield contains a route shield, right?    It's like reading the ingredients to bottled water.  "Contains: Water."

Also, I know this was yesterday's challenge and it doesn't count for anything, but I was excited to find a sign that finally works so I'm posting it anyway.  Look at the panel on the left.

Today's challenge should be an easier one:

January 18, 2018:  It's 11818.  Show signage indicating the junction of a two-digit (or 1-digit) route and the route 100 greater that 2-digit route.  Both routes cannot be Interstates.  (Post route x and 100+x together, given that x<100.)

But the bottle and the water aren't equivalent–you could separate them and they'd be distinct items. A sign that is only a shield can't be separated from the shield.

I'm fairly certain we've done this one before (or something very similar), but IMO I don't have a problem repeating challenges (as long as they're spaced far enough apart.)

Hah  I held off posting IA-163 and US63 specifically because I wanted to see if you would.  I predicted correctly!  What I didn't predict is that you would post a photo of the EXACT SAME ASSEMBLY THAT I PHOTOGRAPHED

Okay, for today's Challenge, we're going to do another little sequence game involving the 50 states. This Challenge will remain open until the sequence is completed (regardless of date).

The rules are pretty simple:
–Post photos containing the name of each state, one at a time and in alphabetical order, spelled out in full on a sign (i.e., no abbreviations).
–The state name cannot be in direct reference to the state itself. Features named after or derived from the state are OK, just not the actual state–so, no "welcome" signs or state line signage. Features unrelated to the state are also good, such as "George Washington Bridge" or "Wyoming County".
–Include the next state alphabetically in your Challenge statement.

So, here we go!
