Location

Next to a house in Bittwil, Seeberg, Switzerland, Earth.

Participants

Tungmar's Buddy Orry

Plans

Tungmar spotted the has in the evening before in the graticule of his home town. Due to workload there was no way to take a day of and go geohashing. Instead he wrote to his buddy Orry who lives near by and told about the hash. Orry is the type of guy to walk and drive nights log just to create gigantic virtual triangles on a map - a perfect candidate for pointless activities like geohashing. There was no promise but good hope.

Expedition

In the late afternoon, Tungmar received a picture and screenshots in Threema showing Orry actually went on the trip! Excitement! But apparently Google Maps lead Orry a few meters to close to the building and inside of the fenced garden - where he didn't went in. Interpreting the picture, Orry did not left the car - no wonder with all that snow - but he must have passed through the road next to the hash. So he was within the range of GPS accuracy next to the hash and as well in the range provided by the used, and not up to the task, tool Google Maps. But unless he turned the car in the field, which is unlikely, he did not pass the hash.

All blame goes to the used tool and to Tungmar to not provide enough precise satellite images or maps.

Achievements

Orry earned the Blinded by Science Consolation Prize

by failing to reach the (47, 7) geohash on 2020-12-10 because a address is a imprecise location specifier.

Is it true that Tungmar earned the Puppet Master Geohash?

In principle, yes.
But he was to lazy to provide more than coordinates (2020-12-10 47 7).
