"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

I think based on the previous clues that were found, that the Lombard clue is a city clue. And yeah, I agree that it has to be somewhere low in tourist traffic and somewhere that they can see you coming so they don't get caught off guard. But wheeerreeee.. hmm.:confused:

My guess: Golden Gate Park. Perfect for some crappy clue about the Bridge. Wide Open.

Or Crissy Field - there`s a pier at the end!
 
Nice Job! Theses are being found FAST.

Assuming this is because these are LARGE cities... I'm very interested to see the Montana and Alabama ones, curious if it will take an hour or more.

So...my first post on the forum. I'm waiting for #16 in St Louis.

I went through and it looks like #20 Boston will be Saturday, #21 Wash DC will be on Sunday, #2 Cali will be on Tuesday, and #13 New York and #17 Detroit will be on Wednesday.

I can only guess that from the few posts on Twitter. GL to you all!
 
Im not going to read through 80 pages but can you go to the place you think it is at before they post the GPS coordinates?

Absolutely...if you can figure it out, The final clue you get a head start before the coordinates are tweeted...approx. 30 minutes with #4 and 45 minutes with #19

But the question is, "is the certificate actually placed before the GPS coordinates are release?"

until someone wins before they release gps coordinates how will we know for sure?

You can go there but I don't know when they actually hide the information. So you might get there but not be able to find the card or whatever it is until they post the GPS info.

Just got the tweet w/ pic. Yes it looks like it's inside at the Statue. Anyone know if this is a pay to get in museum?
I wouldn't be surprised if the card itself was OUTSIDE the museum and then they brought him inside for the photo. Him standing in front of the statue and the line in the tweet work a lot better then taking a picture outside the building with people walking around in the background.
 
Ok so if you click on the twitpic and read some of the comments under the photo. Someone said that they saw him find it behind a column not by the statue. They may have just used the statue for the photo. I'm betting in was an outer column of the building.

Wouldn't DC be on Monday? They said 3 days which doesn't count today right?
 
I was just thinking about it last night. I don't think it will be on Lombard directly, based on the first one it looks like they are aiming for at least a little bit of distance from all the normal foot traffic. Lombard except for up by the Presidio is pretty busy all the time. I'd think people walking or driving by would stop if they see something weird going on.

Then again there are tons of tourists running around with cameras so maybe they could blend in lol...

I'm guessing either fisherman's wharf (lombard dead ends into embarcadero across from the piers... if it was this weekend then maybe civic center plaza where they are sponsoring the world cup viewing)

"With a 1Ghz processor Droid X designate #21 is a center of power. Good thing it will be in this city in 2 days."
So, it's Sunday.
We think the older one was a "left-over" from yesterday's clue or what-so-ever.

they said 3 days in one, and 2 days in a different tweet.

Some people believe they had a problem with yesterdays tweets and they are posting yesterdays tweets today as well.

If that's the case the 3 days one should have been posted yesterday and the 2 day one was meant for today.
 
So who else is trying after #3? I want to know my competition:p

(Sorry I haven't been posting Mahers. Been busy and when I did have time to check, the thread was moving too fast for me)

there r a few on here aside from us but i thought u only WORKED in SF???

This makes sense. Pretty lame if you have to buy a ticket to get to the card.
 
Does anyone know if the phones they are giving away are unlocked? or do they come with the stipulation of accepting a verizon contract???

Thanks
 
People call this city a Twin City with St. Paul. But with Droid X designate #18 there, in 3 days it will be the only city for Droid hunters.

Ah gotcha. Well it looks like I might make a day in DC on Sunday. :D

It would be poor publicity if someone lost because they didn't want to buy a ticket, or they got there first but their line took longer to buy the ticket.

Too many variables that they wouldn't want to deal with it.

Some people may be watching the twitter without actually following. I am not sure I am following or if I am just watching the Twit.

That's what I was thinking. People could have them in a list as well and wouldn't show up as a "follower". I've been considering unfollowing and just leaving DroidLanding on my "Mobile" list since there is almost no chance of there being one near me. Nearest city is 1.5 hours away, nearest BIG city is 5 hours away.
