I do not get it...
Would someone care to elaborate? What is so special about the turtle?

I get the copley square thing but c'mon, theres no need to physically assault turtles. :P

I assure you, I am a fan of turtles...I even have my own. Something about this turtle, and its connection to Overdrive kinda brings out the worst in me though.....:p

Hmmm....

Remind me never to mess with NERDS.

In NYC we only play "Kick the Can."
:eek:

More specifically, the turtle is in Boston's Copley Square. The three numbers the GDC sent as a game hint, when treated as GPS coordinates, point roughly to the turtle.

I sort of feel bad for the group of people behind Andy in this photo, they're going to get a picture with a random failing arm behind them :)

Even more specifically...

42.349905
-71.076072
342.242026

A vague reference to the Hare and Tortoise statue at Copley Square. (See hint and discussion here, and where I bring up the map here.)

Y'know, Andy, it's a good thing the Hint wasn't the Make Way For Ducklings statues down the street at the Public Garden -- you'd have a whole bunch of puzzled pre-schoolers wondering what that man is doing. As it is, you'll have some out-of-towners looking at their pictures and, well, wondering what that man is doing. Maybe it's a local Boston thing. :)

From this perspective, Andy is the hare and he is losing by more than a hair as they near the finish line. If he isn't careful, he may cross/break the plane with that foot. :)

Can he afford to lose more hair? :D

That's right -- I forgot about that. And a gentle tapping only to pass. Might lose some points there....

Hmmm...
a vacation idea to 42.349905, -71.076072 , 342.242026 (and armed with a Yankee's cap, a Giants' cap and a camera). ;)

Andy-

Just be careful you don't kick the turtle too hard and hurt your foot. You will be needing it in the future.

It has the "." at the end of his reply; I forget if that means dlavery is giving us a hint or blowing smoke at us. Or both.
