I'm in NY and I have no idea what the hell that means.

anyone else thinking "Long Time" might refer to Long Island?

Though that is what I was hoping...

 

[bbuck002]

its capitalized and quoted for a reason..."Long Time" = Long Time

 

[bbuck002]

is there a ship/boat docked there named Long Time...quick google search isn't helping

 

[jhwf44]

I thought of Long Island as well but because they have both long and time in the same quotes, I would assume the words go together. Maybe I'm giving too much credit to the clue writers???

how many people on here are relieved to find out that you still have to rely on clues to find it and not just GPS coordinates? I sure as hell am. It gives everyone more of an equal chance to find it!

I thought about it, but there are obscene amounts of docks in NYC, so talk about an unhelpful clue until I can figure out "Long Time"....though it doesn't seem to be an anagram for anything meaningful.

Ahhhhgreed

Maybe that was not the final clue. Maybe coordinates come next. Maybe they want you to get which dock to get down to and they'll do coordinates at 5 (when most people are done work).

I never got the tweet that it was posted on twitter!!!! not cool, I got the clue 13 min late, see I was saying that earlier, I don't always get them sent to me!

If that's true, that has to be it. It's right next to the water.

I've never been to the Big Apple so I don't know squat about it, but looking in Google Maps, there are some docks just to the north of Rockefeller Park.......

 

[nearperfectmess]

ARGH! And now I can't leave until 5!

Yep, it sucks...that's why this thread will be open at work until next Thursday.
Time for a new F5 key

My guess is that it's on long island near a place where you can get maps. Or some place with time. Or both. A kiosk?

Edit: I like JoelR's idea better.

 

[godanigo]

Is it just me or did it disappear from the twitter account?

 

[crazyzete]

It appears to have disappeared.

 

[Zanzaras]

It's gone.

 

[cg06]

Long Island Train Station?

Sorry, meant to say long beach.

 

[zane!]

I'm just running the stock blackberry twitter app, it's at most a 4-5 minute delay but usually 30 seconds to one minute delay.

And I'm also glad to see some clues still being used. Who knows, they may still post coordinates if nobody picks it up soon.

 

[mattdouglaschambers]

Yep. Must have been found. They can't leave it up.
