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.

Coordinates

  • 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.
