Find me
I looked at these 5 numbers and they start all with 00. If you make an international phone call from Germany to any other country, you would dial 00 and then the country code. (Dunno if that works for other countries.)
I looked the countries up, but for the third I can't find a country. So I think I am wrong.

I have trid to use these numbers as geo location:
Code: Select all
0023021191310843 = N 0.230211 E 91.310843
0050286091123267 = N 0.502860 E 91.123267
0014465890424072 = N 0.144658 E 90.424072
0038063490225388 = N 0.380634 E 90.225388
0050113189282402 = N 0.501131 E 89.282402

Doesn't sound like a bad approach, but: How do we know if it's not, say, N 23.0211 E 9.1310843? Depending on where you put the decimal point, that could generate different coordinates.ShadowWidow wrote: I have trid to use these numbers as geo location:

Is there a common convention on how to convert this type of data?

Actually the coordinates resolve to an "x" ...DaymItzJack wrote:Just solved this challenge, I have to say it's pretty stupid. Not only did you have you fix the numbers some how (or I just don't understand it correctly), the numbers given weren't even really close to the answer at all and I once again just guessed and found out I was correct.
