That's right, the previous day. For example, it is the 22nd of the month and you have the coordinates for a geohash on the 23rd. (Maybe it's Friday, maybe you're in Asia.) You want to make sure you are the first. If you show up at 11:30 pm on the 22nd, plant a flag and leave, you do not score First Geohasher. If you show up at 11:30pm on the 22nd, and wait, and more people turn up at 11:59 pm then you're all there before midnight and no one scores First Geohasher. If you show up at 11:30 pm on the 22nd, and wait until more people show up at 12:01 on the 23rd, then you were there before them on the correct day, and so you score First Geohasher. Or, more likely, you turn up at 3:15 pm on the 23rd and there's no evidence of anyone else until 4:06 pm and you welcome them to the geohash and score first geohasher.
It's not a very difficult award to get in most graticules. I personally have decided that I don't score it until I see someone arrive after me, so I don't think "only" geohasher qualified. YMMV. -Robyn 04:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
