I got different figures by doing this by hand. Someone double check this pleeese...

The ones above, is used with 2008-05-31-12647.36 according to finance.google.com

CODE: 2008-05-31-12654.44 (Where did 12654.44 come from? Dow opened on Friday 30th at 12647.36. Djomp 15:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC))

Everywhere:  0.16555531865346243297, 0.17775478936103802757

Be sure to set 5-31-08 on the http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/ map, it defaults to 5-30-08. -Jon

That doesn't help, the http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/ uses Thursdays Dow opening for the entire weekend, so don't trust any of the spots it gives you.

Do you have a more reliable map or are we just waiting for the decimals to get fixed? -Jon

One solution is to use google maps http://maps.google.com/ and manualy enter the coordinates in the search box by appending the coordinates above.

The Dow Jones feeds are incorrect; once they are updated, the co-ordinates will be back. See DJIA. Djomp 15:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
