The 12 June 2008 location for [[Newark, New Jersey]] is three miles south of my office, on US 206. I think that this is the closest anyone has gotten for this achievement to date. Do I get an honorable mention? Can we put it to a vote? --[[User:Jevanyn|Jevanyn]] 15:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC) | The 12 June 2008 location for [[Newark, New Jersey]] is three miles south of my office, on US 206.

| + | : That beats out the 4.5 miles (as the crow flies) that the [[San Jose, California]] location of 1 June 2008 was from my workplace. Though really, I'd just sort of assumed that with a multi-mile radius taken from any sundry urban location, you'd have such a wide tract that ''someone'' would surely work somewhere within it. I kind of like the "1km / 20 minutes walk" upper bound on the Honorable Mention sections myself. Though I don't see the harm in appending a "Closest To Honorability" entry until we have some "real" winners or what have you. :) --[[User:Youhas|Youhas]] 19:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC) | ||

Request for clarification: Workplace for a grad student means... actual building, entire campus, or what?
- Whatever you can blag. 90.198.176.206 16:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't socially engineering yourself a job at the location on the same day count for something? :P
- Definitely! Falls under the same sort of skill set as manipulating the stock market to get the precise point you so desire - full marks for creativity. :)
- If you're a private contractor, and you can finagle yourself a job at the site of that day's location, you should definitely get it. --Jevanyn 15:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
