Arithmetic from modern schools.

Approximations = educated guess:  3 feet to a meter > 282 feet, this is good enough for anyone to see the problem.

LOL, when I was in the army and they started using metric I used that method for a quick answer to a target.

Sign says 85.5

You think it should say 85.9?

I don't see a decimal point but it could be there.

If you search for badwater basin sign there are better pictures that clearly show the decimal. Likely those are older pictures from the when the sign was new.

Secretariat running the Preakness Stakes.  It's been 46 years and he still holds the records for all three Triple Crown races; the fastest Kentucky Derby, the fastest Preakness and the fastest Belmont Stakes.
Fwiw, Easy Goer finished the Belmont in 2:26 flat in 1989 and that's the closest anyone has come to Secretariat's 2:24 flat.
