 		Where Next? What Is The Question?
Londoners unite!
Just got pointed to this by a tweet, am absolutely useless with clues, any other Londoners out there to help? There's 43 clues and only about five have been found so far:

 		Londoner - yes. Any idea about the clues - no.

Doesn't help that I've lived down here for less than a year...

 		Dude I've lived in London my entire life and that map looks nothing like London, how freakin' odd...

We are talking London, UK not Ontario right?

Edit: I do know this clue "the F Word" will point to Chef Gordon Ramsey in which case I'm assuming it's by the restaurant "Hells Kitchen"

Yeah, it's defo London, UK (I'm currently at work in the north of that map) - it shows Soho and South Bank etc, St. James Park is the green area in the middle of it - any ideas where Hell's Kitchen is? I heard that was a set and not an actual restaurant...

EDIT: Also, I took a quick walk around Picadilly just now, hoping to accidentally find one, but nada.

 		I also seek the clues
It seems to me that each of these clues is simply a search string which when entered into google returns a series of results. Ive found the locations of 5, as all the latitude and longitudes are hidden on blogs around the interwebs.

 		[NEW][PUZZLE] What is the Question?
A Puzzle game in London, UK, Running now
To highlight the XDRTB.org campaign we have devised a unique blend of Puzzle solving, Mobile blogging and geolocation that creates a web first.

GPSdrawing (reference http://gpsdrawing.com) is "digital mark-making with satellite navigation technology". The game uses map markers to draw a macro image on a google map rather than one single line drawn using a Tom Tom or other navigator.

The markers each contain and represent a media node at which a piece of media has been posted that has a direct relationship to the macro image that is being drawn.

The game asks you to hunt out the 43 objects scattered over London and post them to the site. People create this macro GPS artwork through solving clues to find the objects, photographing them and then uploading them to the site with mapping co-ordinates provided on the object, which can also be found at 43 participating blogs which the clues refer to.

Each of the objects contains a letter, and when each marker has been uploaded all of the letters together spell out a question. Participants are invited to work out what that question is with the first person to correctly submit the 43 character phrase wins the game with prizes from Moo.com and Nokia, as well as two tickets to James Nachtweys launch party on the 30th October.


The URL for this project is: http://moblog.net/map/blog/findme/ - and the clues went live at midnight Monday morning, so far 9 of the objects have been found.
