Talk:2010-03-30 33 -84

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)

Sure, I understand. The E-30 coordinates were correct, of course, because they are based on 2010-03-29 DJIA opening rate. Since peeron said, it didn't have the 2010-03-30 value, I'm quite sure that your page was wrong at that time. IMHO the coordinates are not reached (not being 100% sure), though I see it must be annoying for you.--Reinhard 22:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
