This letterbox was placed in honor of Geosign on the way home from his participation in the state math competition. We are so proud of him!

Eleven times four is the highway name.
That’s the easiest one in this game.

When travelling, it’s always best
To stop now & then and take a rest.

So when going eastbound, compute the next riddle,
As well as the next, then go to the middle.

A schoolbus can hold either 45 kids or 36 adults.
How many adults could attend a trip when there
are 5 schoolbuses, each already loaded with
20 kids, plus a 15-passenger van that is
1/3 full of kids?

Given the following table, determine the
output for ?.
0 11
1 12
2 15
3 20
4 26
5 36
6 47
7 60
8 75
9 92
10 ?

On the left hand side at the car parking spaces
The right shoulder’s where you should start making paces.

When across from last table, the one with no roof,
Remember you’re just strolling, don’t look aloof!

Where the culvert exits from under the street
Go the way water would likely retreat.

Just past the edge, to the left, you will see
Parallel to your path, a fallen tree.

To find it I hope that you won’t need a map.
Between trunk and soil, covered up in the gap.

When you are done, please recover with bark
And also with leaves, and don’t leave your mark.
