User:Green guy!

Hello, I’m an autistic 21-year old from Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany.

On January 22, 2024, I turned 21 years old and discovered the concept of geohashing via the Wikipedia article on xkcd – I like xkcd and Randall Munroe’s books a lot … this is the stuff that really sparks my fantasy and passion! One day later, I visited the Geohashing Wiki and geohashing.info for the first time and discovered a new passion of mine.

Achievements and other ribbons

Oldest to newest

2024

February 2024

Green guy! earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-02-02.

Green guy! earned the Drag-along achievement by dragging his parents to the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-02-02.

Green guy! earned the OpenStreetMap achievement by contributing [1] [2] to OpenStreetMap based on their expedition to the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-02-25.

March 2024

Green guy! earned the Consecutive Bonza Bottler Day achievement by reaching 2 geohashes in consecutive months on dates where the day number equals the month number: The first occurrence was the 2024-02-02 49 8 geohash; the second occurrence is the (49, 9) geohash on 2024-03-03.

Green guy! earned the 2-in-a-row achievement by achieving a connection of 2 graticules in a row (49,8 to 49,9) after reaching the (49, 9) geohash on 2024-03-03.

Is it true that Green guy! earned the Meet-up achievement? In principle, yes. But (unfortunately) he neither got permission to take a photo with the foreign woman he met at the hashpoint, nor to mention her name here. Also, the person is not a geohasher. These circumstances deny him from getting the Meet-up achievement (with the Drag-along achievement not fitting either) on this expedition (2024-03-10 49 8).

Green guy! achieved level 2 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement by visiting coordinates in Mannheim, Germany and 2 of the surrounding graticules.

May 2024

Green guy! earned the No trespassing consolation prize by almost (about 70 m away) reaching the (39, 8) geohash on 2024-05-23.

Green guy! earned the Two to the N achievement by attempting to reach 23 hashpoints on 2024-05-23 39 8 and is promoted to Level 3 (Expeditions).

June 2024

Green guy! earned the Two to the N achievement by reaching 23 hashpoints on 2024-06-29 49 8 and is promoted to Level 3 (Coordinates reached).

Green guy! earned the Thicket Ticks Achievement by catching ticks in the thicket (and removing them later before they sucked blood) for the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-06-29.

No-no achievements

Green guy! is not going to earn the Bicycle geohash achievement because he is incapable of controlling a bike without severe risk of injuring himself.

Green guy! is unlikely to earn the Consecutive geohash achievement for reaching more than 2 consecutive hash points because expeditions and their reports take up a lot of time and energy, which doesn’t suffice for long streaks at the moment.
