... the location hunting without GPS gimmicks.

Published on April 1, 2009 By Zyxpsilon In Everything Else

1- You need Google Earth to participate.

2- The location must belong to your own past, work, vacation... absolutely no OBVIOUS personal details.

2a- Or as stated from May additional rules ; Where do you wish to go in the future, for vacations, Historical places, Museums, Wonders... for a quick visit. Anything for any reasons. Hints & Locations unlimited.

3- To earn the right of submitting the next clue for yourself, you MUST identify the buildings_city_address (etc) of the currently unknown place to the person who linked the image. Once confirmed, you win the right for #4 below.

4- You must provide "easy or not" hints for your own. I'd highly recommend Time Zones, minimum.

5- Altitude must not exceed 1km or below 250m. (Mine is at 303 meters)

6- Don't forget to hide the coordinates from us, bottom left!

Here's the first;

I worked on the 15th floor of that skyscraper as a financial advisor from May 75 to October 77. The red arrow points to my office window.

-5GMT.

Where is it? Street & number.

@ Zyxpsilon: Right. That explaination confused me...but I think I get it. Serves me right for not realisng the Off Topic forum is like...the gateway to everthing Stardock or something. No harm done - I'm only logging on through SOASE forums, so that's what's done it I suspect.

Unfortunately Jrla21, that's not the right answer. You're too far west. Let's see if I can push you in the right direction.

For starters, I'll drop the need to identify the green arrow. But if you do want to try and guess it, the film in which it features was produce in 2002 and was not only directed by Phillip Noyce, but also starred Michael Caine. That should make things relatively easy.

Secondly, the city is in former French Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos).

That should make things easy.
