The coordinates for Tuesday, May 27, 2008 are:

 West of -30°: 0.20967755786283662, 0.10144168461237785
 East of -30°: 0.12536718896775, 0.577110915397159

This is the first day the 30W Time Zone Rule is in effect.

Note: These coordinates became available east of -30° on Friday, May 23 by combination of a Dow holiday (Memorial Day) on Monday, May 26 and the new 30W Time Zone Rule, which posits that Tuesday's open would come too late in the day for eastern longitudes.

• Austin, Texas - Located on the south side of US 290 near Paige. Should be an easy geohash.
• Brussels, Belgium - The coordinates for Brussels and environs are smack in the middle between the cities of Roly, Villers-en-Fagne, Matagne-la-Grande and Fagnolle. It seems perfectly reachable, but I'm not that familiar with the neighbourhood.

• El Paso, TX - Again, in Mexico. Still very dangerous to cross the border.

• Munich, Germany - The coordinates for Munich are in a particularly nice neighborhood. The Exact location seems to be in the backyard of a residential city building, so it may not be appropriate, but right in front of the house is an awesome little park. There is a small chance that you actually can access the backyard as there are cars on the google earth shot (bock will give it a try). There is a very good place to eat not far from the location: The Cafe Hüller is just two blocks north on the corner of Bereiteranger.

• London, United Kingdom - Very close to Saturday's point - in a field between the villages of Dunsfold and Loxhill.
• New York, New York - Smack dab in the middle of the ocean. A good 50 or 60 miles out to sea at least.
• Boston, Massachusetts - On the banks of a brook in the Blue Hills Reservation south of Milton, MA, just off I-93 exit 3.
