Question - 27


Today's question is courtesy Hirak.

MC, an artist made this for her graduation project. However, she kept the location a secret. This was for two reasons:
a) It's the way the game is played.
b) A particular process that is key to this project of MC is dependent on a secret schedule maintained by 'X'.
What is X and what exactly did MC do? (MC is the initials of the artist).

Answer: Melanie Coles painted a giant image of Waldo the clown from "Where is Waldo" series of children's books on a rooftop in Vancouver and invited people to find him using Google Earth. This would also give an idea of the schedule employed by Google for taking the satellite pictures. Cracked by Divya, Iam, QoD and Rajesh. Well done.

Melanie Coles's "Where on earth is Waldo?"
She has painted a huge painting of Waldo and placed it on a rooftop somewhere in Vancouver.

X is Google Earth and the secret schedule of its "fly-by"

Melanie Coles put a 55-foot long Waldo on a rooftop in Vancouver for people to find the exact location using Google Earth.
