Hi. I'm a student studying maths in Cambridge and living in Milton Keynes outside of term time. I am more likely to attend hashes when I'm at Cambridge, and only if they're within walking distance.

Utterly Ridiculous Things That I'd Like To See Happen

  • Walk XKCD-100 - Assuming a walking speed of 5km/h, it would take about 32 hours to walk the required 100 miles. Hence it's only possible if the Friday is a Dow holiday, and even then still very difficult to near-impossible depending on your location on the planet. I think it would still count for the achievement if you set out before the hash was announced, as long as the sole purpose of your trip is geohashing. This makes it slightly more manageable, but it would still be a big commitment to start walking and hope that a hash works out for you.
  • Multiple Time-Traveller - By this I mean reaching strictly more than 2 hashes on the same date at the same local time. This could happen at the same real time at (0,0), (0,-30), (0,180), (180,0), or (-180,0). Otherwise, the most doable option is probably a combination DST and time zone border time travel.
  • Juggernaut Tron - With the exception of doing a complete circumnavigation, the only way to get this would be to find two disjoint routes that stay within the required 1/20th of the distance to the hash of the straight line to it. This is probably doable for relatively short distances on foot in places with freedom to roam, and for much longer distances by car in places with dense enough roads.
