This winning sign takes us to Iowa native, Jim Bernard. This sign is best described in Jim's own words.

Dear Road Sign Math,

Please find my respectful submission to your totally awesome game. I took this picture while driving to Des Moines. It is located just south of the I-35/I-80 split on I-235 that goes through Des Moines.

Des Moines is a great city. Did you know that the Minnesota</a>.

In another amazing Iowa. He was calling regarding the Internet sensation from Jib-Jab which used Woody's anthem "This Land is Your Land." I've eaten eggs at the Flying J. They were good.

Des Moines is run by a guy named Frank who looks like he might even be related to me. But then, all Iowan really do look similar, don't you think?

In any case, hope you find room for my sign on your website!

Well Jim, for a sign like this, of course we can find room!

This sign is very deceptive, the math is hidden. Upon first look, the casual observer, or even the founder of Road Sign Math was not able to see the math immediately. The key to this sign is to realize that any number divided by itself is 1! We should also take note of this signs homage to Euclid, the father of Euclidean Geometry.

${6 \over 6 } + 1 = 2$

This sign was discovered in Iowa.
