Track Memes

Behold, mathematical heresy in its natural habitat! The sign proudly declares 1 lap = 1/3 mile, but then claims 3 laps = 1.2 miles. Last time I checked, 3 × (1/3) = 1, not 1.2. Whoever created this sign must have skipped the distributive property day in elementary school. The track is apparently 20% longer when you run it three times—perhaps it's secretly a quantum track that expands with each lap? Or maybe the city of Portsmouth employs mathematicians who believe multiplication is just a social construct. Either way, I'd bring a GPS tracker before trusting this dimensional anomaly with my fitness goals!
