 		Just an observation - there's a variation in the time gaps.

* Once we reach 08:59 PST, the gap is reduced to 3 minutes, not 4.
* Then at 10:59 PST there's a slight hiccup - we go to 11:01 PST, then 11:05 PST, then we return to 3 minute intervals.
* And then we reach 15:49 PST, and we return to 4 minute intervals until the end of the list.

Methinks we have phrasing in the co-ordinate code.

 		I'm sure someone's already on it, but...
Can someone with the appropriate software plot a line that connects the dots in chronological order, starting with Washington, D.C. and ending in San Francisco?

 		The other coordinate that was in Montana (near Two Dot, in the middle of a forest) is now gone. It still looks like there are too many coordinates too close together to make sense if we played "connect the dots" though. At any rate, this thing is pretty interesting.

 		Oh, and I almost forgot - it might not me significant, but there are colour changes through the orange table borders. Right through the 3 minute interval section.

My bad - in my haste, I just scanned the list and assumed they were all 4 minutes... I'll be more thorough next time. Might be interesting to look at the points that take less than four minutes of (spec:travel?) time in-between - is the distance between the points smaller during that timeframe, or will whatever's travelling the "road" pick up speed at those locations for some reason?

 		[INFO] PST -> PDT
PST has been changed to PDT. Another boo-boo on the PMs' parts

 		Two quick observations:
1) The accuracy's gone up -- from 4 to 6 digits. This, in theory, specifies an area of less than a square foot.
2) I think they switched it to PDT.

Are we to ignore the previous set of data?

Could this be a mistake? Most of the country is on Daylight Savings time right now.


It says PDT now. Razz

 		So who's the dilligent beekeeper who's gonna make us a nice spreadsheet with the coords and their correct addresses and times?

I'm sorry everyone... I got a job... so so sorry....

I'll agree with you if all of the geographically clustered points are also chronologically clustered. If not, it might be interesting to see the "path" that's created, even if it does double-back on itself once in a while.

Workingon it, not an easy task.

All the ohio marks look like college areas to me off hand, though further investigation will likely prove otherwise. There's one across the street from the Rock hall of fame.

 		YAY!!! The closest location to me is the Bensenville location (41.941080, -087.939411), and whatever's happening there will happen at 4:56pm (not 6:07am, like we previously thought! I don't have to get up early before work!!! YAY PMs!!! Whoo-hoo!

Krystyn, the Sears Tower one isn't there anynmore, as far as I can tell... can you re-verify?

 		Do the coords go from east to west chronologically? While that would make sense game-wise if we have to be at these locations, as it's much easier to be in D.C. at 6AM PDT since it's actually 9AM and so on....
But if this is somehow representing melissa spreading... She's kind of doing it backwards.
