I’ve run into a major snag in my approach that utilizes lines on a map and distances. Google Maps uses a version of a Mercator projection which preserves exact compass headings between destinations, however over distance the measurements can become skewed. Meanwhile 3D maps like Google earth use a 3D globe, which accurately measures distances between 2 points but doesn’t preserve perfect compass headings. If the solution involves intersecting lines or distances on a map, do we think Justin would expect us to account for these differences? Perhaps switching between these models? Seems like this could get infinitely complicated

seems that he made an exception for the cipher since it doesn’t get anyone closer. His language in the new post seems to rule out any checkpoint confirmation

Justin made the announcement late last night about some major breakthrough in the hunt, and now it’s just we know the container? Feels like there might be more than one thing going on? Or am I missing something?
