The following users have won the Couch Potato Geohash Achievement. This achievement can be attained only when the place where you live is exactly under the coordinates of a particular day. This is incredibly lucky, and the chance of this happening to you, assuming a spherical earth of 6371km radius, is approximately [domicile footprint]/(cos[lattitude]* 1.23648758e10 m^2). A typical apartment dweller in Denver, CO, has a chance of around 5e-9; a bit better than one in a billion.
If this does happen to you, you are required to throw a mad-keen party at a day's notice.
This is one of those things that probably wont ever happen, but how cool would it be if it did?
