Talk:Cubicle geohash achievement
All the math here assumes a 25,000 sq. ft workplace. Anyone have a good drawing?--Ahecht 14:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Request for clarification: Workplace for a grad student means... actual building, entire campus, or what?

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)
Closest so far?
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? --Jevanyn 15:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- 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. :) --Youhas 19:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
My office has wings, so I have opportunity to maneuver it over geohashes. That would be cheating, though. I intend to take this achievement if the hash falls within the boundaries of an airport that I land at during the day. Robyn 04:09, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Today might be your lucky day :-D. -- Jevanyn 13:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
For students
Question: What about for students? At our school? -- 146.115.115.35
- IMO, if you have a homeroom (i.e., a morning gathering room, not necessarily where a lesson is delivered), it has to be in your homeroom. If not, it can be in any classroom you occupy that day. Honorable mention if it's on your school grounds / campus? -- Jevanyn 18:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Within Three Miles!
The main article asks for reports of work locations within three miles of a geohash. I'm about 1.5 miles from today's coordinates for the West London graticule -- as are a lot of other people, probably, as it's just east of Regent's Park. My desk is at +51.514666, -0.133015.

Yesterday's hash for the Oslo graticule was about 1.8 km walking distance from my departement's university building, tells me google. That's almost honorable, isn't it?

- I guess you all (and Virgletati) qualify for the Honourable Honourable Mention. (Almost Honourable Mention sounds good, too). -- Relet 18:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Five miles away
[1] shows the point about five miles south-east of my work place for the summer, the Blue Note Caribou mine (it's the whiteish blotch above the dark looking lake on hybrid mode). Pretty close...
