It wasn't like you posted it as gospel Chateau, gheesh some people just took it and ran amuk. Like last week mswood posted in the EP7 poll that Kynt & Vyxsin would be eliminated and again she was quoted somewhere else and again everyone just ran around like a chicken with its head cut off, you know?  :duno: If it was posted in the actual spoiler thread then I can see them quoting someone but it wasn's so neener neener  :pfft.

As soon as I saw that the frickin Speed Bump was to go to yogi's place I knew they were toast.

From GE I knew how far away that was from Colaba etc. and I thought the transport would be an hour and a half alone.  I bet Jenn and Nate took 3 hours to find the clue in the newspaper.   :lol3:

Very sad I am.    :'(

Here are my sun-angle estimates for the teams check in times in at the Baboli Gardens in Florence
1) Don & Nick at 10:40 am
2) Nate & Jenn at 11:54 am
3) Ron & Christina at 12:54 pm
4) TK & Rachel at 2:05 pm
5) Kynt & Vyxsin at 3:10 pm

Not that i t matters because they will all get to India by 1 am on July 23rd.




This shot was taken between 7:23 and 8:07 am (assumes July 23rd).




So here is a shot of Don's watch that is actually readable.  This was when they were on their way to the paste up place where Ron and Christina were already pasting.

The watch says 7:22 am, which agrees pretty well with the rather iffy shadow angle under the bridge.

Thanks Puddin, I had special help from the two domes in the background.  One is 8-sided and the other is 6-sided.  As the day goes by, certain sides get illuminated or shaded at specific times.

Are we good in Mumbai? Do we need any pics? My friend there can go Friday if we need pics of the yogi house or anything but that means I need to get an email off tonight...

Actually, if you could ask your friend for the Naik location in Khar Danda, that would be great; I've found the addresses for almost everything else. :ty3:

And where is Khar Danda?  I must have missed it getting pinned.

I was googling Cardunda and Kardunda.   :groan:  Got nothing.

I pestered Peach until I remembered--Duh  :groan:--that the phone number was in the photo. Khar (Danda) isn't far from the tailors or Daria Mahal; it turned out that the Goths didn't lose a lot of time on the speed bump.

That still seems like a great find!

And it is me who has been pestering my friend in India--so last chance if y'all think we need pics of anything!

So who's going to GE all the places all together for MAPS? :lol: With nice yellow push pins? :lol:

Yahoo India is a little better than Google street-wise. The trouble is, a lot of addresses seem to include the building name as well as the street and district and mapping services don't know how to process that.
