riddle - Iconic Places and 820.5: Grandpa's silly math


This riddle could be considered short and sweet and may need some lateral thinking.


Grandpa says to me with a mischievous smile:



"Hope you know your famous iconic places or landmarks.



Show that the following equation is correct.


Taiwan Landmark NY Landmark US Iconic Highway = 820.5"



Bit of a stretch, if you ask me.



Answer



Taiwan Landmark:



(Taipei) 101



NY Landmark:




Times Square



US Iconic Highway:



Route (root) 66



Equation:



101 * sqr(66)




Which equals



820.5, approximately.
