On a different idea, [scad] posted a coned in Google Map view. I wondered what city it was from. I had to fly up a long way before I figured it out.
In Name that Town, you are an itinerant superhero who flies thru the night. In the morning you wonder where you are. How high do you have to fly
before you can figure it out.
You start with a close view of the square on the map and then incrementally click the - button flying upwards.
The labels help a lot. It would be very tricky without but definitely more challenging.

2) Are you a radiologist? |
|
| |
1: Yeah! 2: No - ? do radiologists do this thing? |
|
| |
OK, here's my chance to learn who else, besides
radiologists, says "coned in." |
|
| |
I'm currently playing google earth games with somebody in Australia - she provides clues to her location and I look for her house. |
|
| |
No really, it's all innocent, I'm just playing with GE, I swear. |
|
| |
Fine, don't believe me, I understand ;-) |

So I was supposed to parse that phrase as a map view that was coned-in? Because I thought someone had, in Google Map view, posted a picture of a coned, whatever a coned is--a conehead, a Consolidated Edison, two guys named Ned? |
|
| |
Thanks, [mouseposture]. My head was hurting. |

Maybe just them, and now me. My dad is one. |

and people who sell ice cream cones. Presumably. |
|
| |
I was wondering why it was supposedly so hard to find
ConEd... I thought maybe we weren't allowed to use the
keyboard. I stand enlightened. |
|
| |
Oh, and it's ice cream vendors. Radiologists and ice cream
vendors use the term 'coned.' I dunno about the cone-
makers, or 'coners,' as they prefer to be called (okay, I
made that part up). |
|
| |
Zzzzzzzzt! Wrong. Please try again. |

<thinks....future generations of Halfbakers still playing the game only to find bungston's descendants had the map upside down and it wasn't Notlob after all> |
