Hey NWoodruff,
The coords on your GPS are off for 30-03 - they show 33.95962, -84.70211 when the hashpoint is shown as 33.3572209, -84.4029452...what gives? Did you miskey the coords in? :o) Kozz 21:24, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Scratch that - just saw the last pic in the series. I thought you might've qualified for Blinded by Science - have done that on more than a couple of ocassions - the eTrex interface isn't conducive to inputting coordinates with one hand whilst driving on freeways! Kozz 22:14, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- It still is 'blinded by science', isn't it? I assume the previously displayed coordinates (which NWoodruff reached) were based on a DJIA of 0.00? In that case the true XKCD geohashing coordinates (displayed now) weren't reached. I remember waiting for the March 31 coordinates whole Tuesday evening to maybe try a midnight geohash, since I had no time on Wednesday evening. When they appeared the next day, I was glad to see them being too far anyway.--Reinhard 22:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I went by the only coordinates that I had. I was assuming that the page was correct. I had no idea that they wouldn't be correct. So is it reached or not reached? --NWoodruff 22:26, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
