There is a pair of sculptures in Copley Square called The Tortoise and the Hare. Possibly a reference to something we have to do fast and something we have to do slow maybe???

It could also have something to do with Trinity Church.

How about Latitude, Longitude, Bearing?

Would some of our friends in Boston tell us what you see when standing in Copley Square looking at a bearing of 342 degrees magnetic?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
 

You can calculate what you would be looking at but with Google Maps or any satellite it wont help because you get a birds eye view and not teh view you would get standing there.

I'm poking around the area in Google Street Views... Nothing yet, will report in on any significant findings.

Edit: Interesting. In this square, triangles and squares are everywhere. I'm guessing these two will be our game shapes?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

It looks like you'd end up looking at either a tree or bench... not like that is a rare sight.
