I found that "sig" has several translations including "one". With the north west included in the text, could this be lat/long?

[Snic]

I was thinking lat/long, or GPS. But, neither makes much sense given the series of numbers. Thought I am hard-pressed to come up with another reason why North and West would be on there.

[Duckie]

They seem to indeed be lat/long, given in Degrees minutes seconds.

For instance, the lat/long in this form for Helispot airport in North Carolina is
Degrees Minutes Seconds:
Latitude: 354658N
Longitude: 0783829W

Which has the same amount of numbers, as well as the "N" and "W", as does our Cloo.

EDIT
I may have misspoken, as there are SEVEN digits in the Longitude in this form. Also, there's no apparent form as to which numbers are North and which numbers are West.

Assuming that Sig does mean 1, our numbers are

783168844856 N, W

I'm stumped.

For what its worth

the Lat/Long in normal form for "Research triangle Park" (in North Carolina) where the Auditory institute is located, is

Latitude: 35.89694
Longitude: -78.86056

Which shares a great deal of numbers with the ones we have as part of the clue. Just if anyone wants to start around "35" and "-78" and figure it out from there.
Cheers.

Yes, Duckie (YAY! DUCKIE!!! ), I've been serching the RTP on google earth for clues since the coordinates idea came up, but I'm having a hard time making any sense of it. The problem is that we have the number 8 recurring 5 times, which is quite a lot for a set of coordinates given in degrees/minutes/seconds. In which order should we read the numbers in the heart, it still remains a mistery to me.

effing windows 98...i can't run google earth on it and i have no idea where else i can look for coordinates like that...*siiiigh* i need a new pc.

Just as a confirmation, here's what my Danish friend says:

According to:

http://danish.nigilist.ru/cgi-bin/nph-dict.cgi

sig is: oneself, himself, herself, itself, themselves,

[Duckie]

Aha.
InterTran, a translating website (www.tranexp.com)


Translates "one" as "sig" AND "three" as "tretal"
having those two mistakes together to me signifies that both are important only as numbers, and not anything else.
Interestingly, it translates "north" as "nordpa", so maybe its not the exact translator used.
Still, in my opinion, we should approach this as a Coordinate.

where's xnbomb? he's in NC, no? maybe he can be our man on the ground if it is a NC coordinate...

I got coordinates for

[chippy]

Thought i would follow the numbers up from north and left from west with latitude=65.4837 and longitude=-88.1846

talking with my danish friend he also said "sig" isnt one, its "tell"... which lead me thinking about telephone numbers..."tel" ? Perhaps in the northwest?
