Couch Potato Geohash

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 is the area of your domicile divided by the area of the quadrangle you're in. Assuming a sphere of radius R (Earth is approximately 6,370,000m), θ = the absolute value of your graticule's latitude in degrees, and H = the size of your domicile in square metres, then the probability P is represented by the following formula:

P = H / ( [πR² / 180] · [sin(θ+1) - sin(θ)] )

A typical apartment dweller in Denver, Colorado (latitude 39°) has a chance of around one in 106,000,000. The same apartment dweller in Vardø, Norway (latitude 70°) has a chance of around one in 46,000,000.

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 won't ever happen, but how cool would it be if it did?.

Honorable Mentions

Even if the coordiantes aren't in your house, you can get an honorable mention if you live within 1km (a 20 minute walk) of the coordinates. While this is 33,800 times more likely to happen than the coordinates being in your domicile, it's still a long shot.
