Globalhash
The decimals generated by the geohashing algorithm can also be used to generate a single point on the globe instead of one for each graticule and this award celebrates those lucky or mad enough to pursue that single point.
To generate this point take today's decimals and multiply the latitude by 180 and subtract 90, and the longitude by 360 subtracting 180. This will generate a single point on the globe which is today's only globalhash.
Proof is the same as any hash, but at the single day's coordinates. Good luck! The odds of the globalhash falling in your graticule are 1 in 64,800!
Example
On September 3rd, the decimals generated were 0.1991464 and 0.9440844 for latitude and longitude respectively.
0.1991464 * 180 = 35.846352 - 90 = -54.153648° Latitude 0.9440844 * 360 = 339.870384 - 180 = 159.870384° Longitude
Or 54.153648° S, 159.870384° W which is south of New Zealand and Tasmania.
