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

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

Why do they do this to us???

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

Boston is the home of the red sox....infrared....We're going to have to identify, with IR tool in first hint, and pick up red socks and put them in a bin

Copley Square to be exact, and if you type that into Google map, it seems to point directly at something in copley square but it doesn't zoom in enough!!!

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

I'm pretty sure the arrow is just pointing to the center of Copley Square.

Any idea for what the third coordinate is for?

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

Height?

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

Whilst looking up stuff about copley Square I ran across this picture...... Was he serious this whole time???

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

I'm thinking that it might be the position of something on the game field. If each of the numbers given are in inches the maximum value is something like 28.5 feet.

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

Could be, anyone know of a structure around Copley Square that's 342.242026 feet tall? Though I don't know, if they're coordinates then the first two would be in degrees and how would that work for the third one? I've never seen longitude / latitude and then a height given in the same format. But then again, this is a game hint, so who knows.

google earth...bout same altitide with lat and lon http://www.homeofthegeek.net/2/42.34...-71.076072.jpg

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

the third coordinate might be time.
i'll work it out and give you the date in a sec.

if it's 342.242026 days from 01.01.2007 than the date is

that doesnt make much sense. (maybe that's when they shipped the IR??)

Copley Square = square game piece? *shrug*

EDIT: This one is from Libby - Copley Square is also on the corner of Harvard St. and BEACON St.

Hmmm....

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