Wish I remembered enough of college calculus to actually work it out. But since we have Google, the answer's apparently the first 10-digits of the Pi constant - 3141592653...

This equates to the number PI (3.14159265358979323846...). I came across this long time back and one of my friends solved it.

Here are some signs that I came across in the recent past.

I tried to understand what this traffic signboard was meant to convey. At the least, they could have got the directions correct, in the order of left to right. I am still wondering what a "sheet" belt would do.
