Orange



Another mathematically significant roadsign from Erving. According to the Athol Daily News there is a lot of interaction between Athol and Petersham (see Petersham Poly). Reverand Tate, of Orange, recently road in a PT Cruiser during the Fourth of July parade in Petersham. This sign brought in some questions about rule #4. While there is some subjectivity to rule #4, this sign doesn't violate it.

With five numbers this sign has a very elegant solution. No complex trigonometry or other algebraic gymnasitcs are required to find the solution for this one. Remember that we can drop the A on the two instances of 2A, coincidentally a clause that is provided for by rule #4 referenced above.

$${ ( 4 \times 2 ) - 2 \over 6 } = 1 $$

This sign is on the southern terminus of Route 78 as it meets 2A just west of Massachusetts.

''Ed.: This sign is the 14th sign from Mr. Slauenwhite and ties him with the founder of Road Sign Math for the number of mathematically significant signs discovered. With this amazing run of signs Slauenwhite will soon take the lead in the number of signs discovered.''
