I subtracted the new Latitudal number from the old of the 9:23 coord (47.617222 - 37.033333) and then had it converted using the boulter website and came up with 10 35 02. I did the same with the 17:55 coord (47.616389 - 36.983333) and came up with 10 37 59.


I tried to repeat this phenomena with the coordinates mentioned here. Unfortunately, the coordinates didn't even make sense after the subtraction. It is posible that I didn't really understand your methods. But at least you have a new set of coordinates to test your theory on. Let us know if it works out, and if it does, how you did it. (specifically) Good work.

 		Bummer! I tried it but came up with 00 00 05 (12 midnight) for the latitude calculation. There's no corresponding time for that, unless the PM's decided to flip that one to 12:00pm PDT. Even then, the closest one is for 11:59 AM (near Lafayette, Lousiana). It's pair would be for St. Louis, MS.

Are there any other changes? I really haven't had a chance to check out all the coord upates.

 		But who's giving the coords?
There's something that keeps bugging me.

It's SPDR that's responsible for dumping data bits, right? The coordinates are white on black, just like SPDR's consoles.

Meanwhile, in the ladybee777's emails, we see the Queen instructing the Widow to build roads. But the Queen is the AI trapped in some machine, and the Widow is the SPDR rebuilding the AI/Queen.

So who's giving us those coords, dag nabbit??

I think SPDR is pretty multifunctional. He can eliminate rogue processes, organize data/memories, etc. Phase 2 mentions much more about branching out than rebuilding, which probably became SPDR's main task.

But remember, SPDR has probably been supplanted by Flea, and Flea seems able to mask as SPDR quite well. The latest update, which is not white on black, could Flea instead of SPDR.

 		Lotsa Numbers
Looking at the source code of the "Fun Stuff" page, the original page that now contains the coordinate table has a multitude of numbers in the form of Bee Facts. I don't have the math skills or the brain power to make a connection but I bet one of you does.

Could these numbers be used to figure out what's going on here? Are all those people who are driving to the locations tomorrow going to be sorely dissapointed? Do we have enough time to find out?

Guess we'll find out in the morning.

P.S. I grabbed onto this near the end it seems so if this has been looked at already I apoligize.

I suppose it could be, even though it's not his usual white-on-white italic text. But since it's maroon-on-white text that we have come to associate with the Operator, I think the new coordinates are more likely to be from Queen Melissa herself -- though certainly under the Flea's influence at this time.

(I had to. Sorry.)

Nark Nark.

Insanely possible and fits with the Queen's monologue...
