It’s nice to see the site back up and running. I discovered this right as it went dormant and have been eager to participate.

These signs are found on Cedar Street in Millville, New Jersey just as one pulls into Lakeside Middle School.

Zoom of the bottom part of this sign shows an extensive array of numbers.

Solution

The math here is borderline crazy to deal with the huge number of numbers in this sign. Nineteen numbers in all may be a new record!

$3 \times (26-17) \times ( (30-26) - ( (45+30+20) - ( (367-226) - ( {{6576-2001} \over { {{45} \over {7+2}} }} - 866 ) ) ) ) = (8+1) \times 3$

Ahhh, yeah. Right. Let's reduce this down and see if it really works.

$3 \times 9 \times ( 4 - ( 95 - ( 141 - ( {4575 \over { 5 }} - 866 ) ) ) ) = (8+1) \times 3$ $3 \times 9 \times ( 4 - ( 95 - ( 141 - 49 ) ) ) = (8+1) \times 3$ $3 \times 9 \times 1 = (8+1) \times 3$ $27 = 27$

Whew, that's a trip through math class!
