David Slauenwhite brings us a huge sign from Pennsylvania! This sign that is barely visible behind all the numbers presents a slew of opportunities. The scenic lumberyard in the background is Ron Baltzley Hardwoods, a member of the Northern Tier Hardwood Association.

Mr. Slauenwhite nails Euler to 4 decimal places on this sign! However, he takes a dreaded 50% deduction in his score for this sign for using cancelation math (note the 660 - 660). Due to a judging error this sign was originally penalized for cancelation math, however, it was later determined to be incorrect.

{{4\times(2005-660-660)\times\tan{45^\circ}} \over {(2005+380-370+1)\times\sin{390^\circ}}} \rightarrow {{2740}\over{1008}} \approx 2.718253 \approx e

This sign is in Covington Township, Pennsylvania at the junction of SR660 and SR2005.
