Is this 100 miles as in "it took over 100 miles of travel just to get the hash", or "getting to the hash and back involved over 100 miles of travel in total"? I sort of assume the former, but some explicit disambiguation wouldn't hurt any. :) --Youhas 20:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, my intention was 100 miles one way -- basically, to the far end of the graticule via windy roads -- but I suppose the whole achievement thing is "honor system", so folks can award them to themselves however they see fit. But my intention was "100 mi [one way] for the express purpose of making xkcd meetup." That is, vacationing in another state and then deciding "hey, I'm bored, I should geohash..." isn't in the spirit of the award, which is intended for a more "I'm going to make the xkcd meetup no matter what, dammit!" mindset.
