Trying to find where AC/DC were on that date. They were in Brussels on the last date of their European tour, but I can't find a venue...

Ten by my count... Somebody updating the spreadsheet?

* #10 - Island - Lat = Abs Sum / 36.2203, Lng = Abs Sum / 4.7845
* #18 - Something? - Jos 20:7, 5645, 5340, 12800
* #19 - Lotus 25 - 78369
* #20 - An island? - 1000 - 510, 278, 115, 84
* #21 - A Clockwork Orange - 2847
* #22 - A farm? - image from google maps, includes numbers 45 7900
* #31 - ?? - 101011, 000001, 110001, 000111
* #42 - A person - 1933
* #46 - ?? - HTROWELTTUHSTHGIR, WREISUBROCABAYACA - KMx15
* #48 - A highway? - image clue


ETA:
There are four of them that are based on movies and have four digit clues. If we can figure out what the clue means, maybe it'll shed some light.

I have tried every location I can think of for Clockwork Orange; maybe somebody else should try them.

I can check a clockwork orange 28:47

The lotus 25... All other sports stuff has been an arena, etc. correct? This would be the '63 car I think since Clark finished 2nd overall in '62. (And obliterated the F1 world in 63)

1933 might be phillip roth, but not sure. Most pics of him show longer hair & younger

Could you also check 47:27? That's 2847 in minutes:seconds, which is probably better, unless we're looking for 45:86 in Mad Max Razz

Netflix doesn't have secs markers, but the scene is when he takes the two girls home from the record shop, speeded up shagging. Music is the Wm. Tell overture (Rossini), so maybe that.

at Lex. Will do.

But they don't seem to be consistant I don't think; Mad Max was a very specific location from a user submitted point in Google Earth. The Exorcist was the city of Georgetown, and I used the general coordinates on the Wikipedia page for Georgetown, DC.

I've tried London's coordinates I think. I've tried the coordinates of the milk bar, the tunnel with the bum, the prison, the apartments where Alex lived, the building with the window he jumped out of and one or two more. I even tried Stanley Kubrick's home and Beethoven's grave.

It's driving me CRAZY!

I'm thinking you might have lucked out with The Exorcist. The Casino Royale location we have is a pretty specific place, a villa where some of the exterior shots were done (round about the time in the movie I thought it might have been, by the way).

We'll wait for the pancito's report.

47:27 is an aerial shot of the prison. Can't post it becasuse even though I can get a screencap into irfanview it goes to black on the save...

Found the record store in Google Earth (it's now a McDonalds), but that didn't work either.

I tried the prison; will try it again...

*EDIT*
It's Wandsworth (HM Prison), but no joy on the coordinates.

Might try the hospital which is right before the aerial. (The probation officer spits on him)

Tried Rossini's grave, Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, no soap using the wiki co-ords
