I threw an Aerobie down the street, trying to reach a certain road sign.
Standing at the Aerobie, I was disappointed to see the face of the sign, across the street. But wait a minute, it's crooked! Eyeballing a perpendicular to the street, I'm a couple feet past the sign, dammit.
Whoa, maybe roadsigns are twisted slightly clockwise on purpose? To exactly face traffic from where they first become visible? --rwg _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
