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

The Trinity idea pulling on the different game pieces is probably pretty solid.

Since the first two numbers in the series were coordinates, that leads me to assume that the third is an elevation. 342.242026 is not in meters because it would be higher than all the buildings in that area. However, if it is in feet then it is still taller than most buildings, but not all.

I am fairly certain that the only building taller than 342.242026 feet and adjacent to Copley Square is John Hancock Place, which is 60 floors or 790 feet tall.

790 / 342.242026 = 2.308308 (Finding how tall the building is in relation to the height given by FIRST)

60 / 2.308308 = 25.993065 (dividing the number of floors in the building by the ratio above)

25.99 floors above ground is uncannily close to 26, considering the difference between the base of the building and sea level wasn't included.

So, what is on the 26th floor of the John Hancock Place, besides a non-existent message saying I just wasted part of my life?
