Secondly, I think we should start a new topic with Fireball's idea of "who will go to each site" (so there can still be puzzle solve-spec going on here, without the random "I'll go here" post)


Perhaps we can impose on Kalamazoo to update the spreadsheet with a "who's going" column? Alas, the poor wiki...

And sure, start a new thread.

kaynorr, is there a payphone there?


I don't think so - I walk through there on a semi-regular basis and nothing stands out in my mind. But I can check after work. As a further observation, there are benches & the like nearby and people are known to loiter around.

If something were to happen there, it would almost certainly cause less of a fuss than Sears Tower, which would probably yield some sort of Unpleasant Security Incident.

Given the new level of specificity in the coordinates, geo-caching might not be out of the question. Certainly plenty of places to hide something (particularly if that something is a sticker or other text-message as opposed to a physical object). I may try and track down a GPS module for my Palm so I can be in Exactly the right spot.

 		Unpleasant Security Incident... definitely don't want a USI... Smile I like it... can we coin that term now? USI = Unpleasant Security Incident?

Sorry, off topic... ok... ANYONE CLAIMING TO "COVER" A LOCATION ON THE 24th, SOUND OFF HERE!

 		Trout away here, if I missed someone already pointing this out...

If you infer that the final point in the list also takes 4 minutes to "do" whatever is to be done there, then the end time of the entire is 18:07, EXACTLY 12 hours to the minute after the start time. With the massaging of the intervals between 3m and 4m, etc., I'm guessing the precision of 12 hours is intentional.

 		WAIT A SECOND!!!

Are we wrong to infer that these times are relevant next Tuesday? Maybe we're supposed to be somewhere today? (although half of these times have already come and gone, I suppose...) But I just figured I'd throw out that scary thought...

Makes me wonder then - why the times? If there is something hidden there, why couldn't I go the day before and find it, or that morning? Surely the PMs aren't going to have 200+ people there 10 minutes before the designated time hiding something. If they did, then why wouldn't they just have a live actor event? Shocked

Calm down, sparky....there's the countdown clock on the top of the Axons screen. I'm sure it's meant for next Tuesday.

Either that, or I already missed the dancing robots.

 		That's true, but at the same time, do we have enough info to make that connection a certainty, fireball? I'm just saying that we don't have definitive info on that yet, and that maybe someone could check one of the "later" locations today at the specified time, and just check to make sure we shouldn't be somewhere today?

GROUT - wouldn't get out till the late edition, though...[/b]

 		Hmmm... 9AM in front of the Chicago Sun-Times building.... They sure want publicity...

And the 2 points in Chicago that are across the street from eachother - are 2 hours apart... is something going to happen there.... and then happen again 2 hours later 40 feet away? Kind of odd.

The Pittsburgh locations are all at least 3 hours apart, and relatively close to each other. That means a single person could 'handle' all three, if that sort of thing were required.

If it's a bunch of Microsoft agents showing up to do something, why stagger all of the times 3-4 minutes apart? Several east-coast volunteers could all show up and do something (at the first of the locations in each area) at 9:10AM EDT.

Instead, it's completely serial. As in: "Each call should take 90 seconds, so first we'll call DC, then Cleveland, then..."

I just WISH I had a way to "report" after going to the location...

If I'm covering the Cleveland spots, mine will probably be the very first report you read. Cleveland is second on the list, and the drop is on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, which has a (more or less) campus-wide wireless network.
