Did anyone plot all the coordinates on one big map? I have no experience with that but in a previous game I played (Covet), there were a bunch of coordinates, and when plotted them altogether on a big map a shape emerged (a heart), which was a clue in itself.

I came in this game late so a little behind. I thought I caught up so sorry about the shuttleworth post.

oooh, nice idea! I'd definitely be interested in seeing what they look like plotted. However, I'm at work and should be spinning films and not internetting so don't really have time to do it now. Is a pretty big job.

I've been looking at google earth all day, and nothing is jumping out at me. My brain is fried. Anyone else have anymore luck?

Here is an example of what I was talking about in my last post - that perhaps when plotted on a map it might divulge a pattern or something. Here is the heart pattern that emerged in the Covet game:

Maybe the coordinates from GeoPikzz are too spread out.

If #46 has clues to four other pictures, then maybe some other # has clues to this aerial view set that's giving us so much trouble.
I started a new column on the google doc to explain the hints, but I don't know the significance of most of them (without going through the thread again :P ). Maybe through process of elimination, one of the hints will help us out.

Maybe the unknown old man (UOM?) is also an architect?

I see you have prison? for #42 (1933 hint). The photo is remotely in my memory from something, but just cannot remember. The first thing I thought of was a 1933 gangster from Chicago as Al Capone is on there and he was an active gangster from Chicago too. I tried looking up all the gangsters I could remember, and never found this man. Also my first instinct was that he was being interviewed. Looking at his dress, he does not have a hat on like Al Capone which definitely would have been worn outside at that time - so it is making me think he is inside. But he does not have prison clothes on - he has some kind of black turtleneck on which made me think of a priest too.

The guy really does seem familiar.

As for the other four boathouse w/dock pictures.
(The island one just has the dock)

I'm not finding much in the way of aerial pics to try and match.

It seems designing boathouses was something some architects liked to do. Albeit on a much grander scale than those we're looking at.

#31

43, 1, 49, 7 forms the edges of a square...and if we traverse from the first point to the last, an N shape is made...see if they can help in any way

*EDIT* the time in the clocks may well be a clue...i donno much abt astronomical clocks...does anyone?

It's a good idea, but the problem is #43 - it's just so far away from the other 3, it wouldn't work well.

I've started plotting the points on a map.
http://maps.google.com/...

No discernible pattern yet, but I'm not finished.

Edit: Added fAr stAr's N and also those points connected on the map (I think that was Agent Lex was referring to when he said #43 was too far out?? Confused )

Part of me is still hoping that there's more to this than a simple "CONGRATULATIONS: YOU WIN!" at the end.

I am hoping there is more to the end too. Doesn't this seem alot like the one challenge we had in ithurtstoheal? (There was one guy that no one could identify and it turned out to be Lawrence Welk). Someone got it by putting it on Yahoo answers - and then they got it identified.

Thanks for plotting them on the map - I don't see any pattern yet either.

Just a bit of META talk.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It would seem that this was still being developed right up until it was posted:
http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?id=14695
(The error pic is http://www.geopikzz.com/pictures/bug.jpg)
This also shows me that the guy who is listed as a fan is the developer:
http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=100000000004&id=17291400975
but that was probably obvious.
At this point, I doubt there is more, but hoping there is.

Palm: I included "prison?" for the picture of the yet unidentified older guy because like the pictures of #32 The Man in the Iron Mask, and #45 Al Capone; all head shots; it's clue, 1933, could be a year. I was thinking the answer may be a prison. My searches for prisons/1933 have been fruitless though. Dunno

Thanks to all who have been updating the spreadsheet!

P.S. I asked a 93 year old (he would have been 19 in 1933) if he recognized the face. He thought the man looked like "Casey Stengel". He does...some, but not enough. Smile
