A little contest with a nice prize.

These three numbers have one very specific thing in common.

They can be found in proximity to one another in a specific place.

They have been seen by a large number of folks on this board.

When discovered, the answer will be immediately obvious as to why I picked them.

They have no numerical relationship as in a + 1 rule, or prime +1, or anything like that.

They are dead end numbers.

There are two specific colors associated with them.

There is a specific height associated with them.

Even though you have seen them, you won't remember seeing them.

They are not located in Orange County.

As soon as you move away from them, they will change.

Here are the numbers- 10 44 66

The prize is a nice Leatherman Supertool 200 complete with a small pair of binoculars and a windproof butane lighter. The first person to get the 3 numbers and two colors will win.

Pic will be posted shortly

I am the sole judge of your accuracy. You have to satisfy me with your answer.

Here is a pic-

I think I just burnt a valve trying to figure this out. UGH! I keep thinking it's either the IQ of my first three girlfriends or some type of coordinates.

Even if you were right, which you aren't, you left out the two colors and why.

I was thinking distances to the red and white JV signs coming from the 15 on the 18... but 10 seems to small for the first.

Nope, but those three numbers have been seen by you many times, even grandma has seen them.

Yes, but it could be used to make a bread box, just depends on how far you want to go.

I've seen them white and blue, but that's not the norm.

So is that an acceptable answer or not? If not is one of the colors correct?
