I’m the same got a distance on google maps and nothing works must be kilometres if it’s 5 numbers

Fiona152318 · 19/12/2023 19:09

So got the distance according to google maps but still doesn’t work !

Fiona152318 · 19/12/2023 19:24

I’ve done that on my computer but isn’t taking my answer
presume it’s Km as 5 numbers

Interested in this thread?

Yes the answer is five numbers. Have you converted to decimal coordinates?

I entered one set of coordinates, then another and Google gave me the 'distance to here' option. That answer worked. It did take a bloody while though

Blueberry911 · 19/12/2023 21:19

Please could someone send me a picture of the answer needed for day 24? I want it to be over now!

JelloStix · 20/12/2023 01:47

I'm still stuck on day 19. I've entered the coordinates into google maps and all I get is a massage saying Google can't calculate directions. It doesn't even offer the distance in kilometres. Please help.

JelloStix · 20/12/2023 02:22

Never mind I have it now

gnusolak · 20/12/2023 06:52

For all who still have problems with day 19. You have to calculate bird's eye distance and you can google some online calculators where you just put the original coordinates from the advent book. I was using this one:

The answer is first 5 digits.

Can anyone help me with day 18 please. I am unsure if I am adding all the numbers up or subtracting some. TIA.

Have you found the picture of the tower on google earth? You follow the pattern of add and subtract on the tower but you can't see it on the picture in the book, only on google.

Lolo16 · 20/12/2023 11:36

Thanks, got it now. Was overthinking it and making it harder than it was!

Mellissamoon · 20/12/2023 22:50

I can’t work out where the Pat code is in day 23. Does anyone have any tips? I think I’ve got all the countries in

Rainbow57 · 21/12/2023 08:10

You need yo be a bit more shady near the cities!

Do I have to find the locations of the cities in their countries? Ohhh I just shades the countries! Thanks 🤩

Rainbow57 · 21/12/2023 22:58

Shade the square that the city falls within

Lolo16 · 21/12/2023 23:23

Am i making a word out of the word out of the clues on the table for day 20? The word I have doesn't make sense!

Mellissamoon · 21/12/2023 23:55

Rainbow57 · 21/12/2023 22:58

Shade the square that the city falls within

I’m getting 316 but it’s not that. It’s the top of the Pat grid on the right side?

Yep make a word for the symbols on the table. You have to find out what the symbols mean

You have to convert the arial distance from sphinx to Area 51 in decimals. I had to use a special converter and had to add the longitude and latitude I think? I don’t remember! The answer is a 5 digit number

Rainbow57 · 21/12/2023 22:58

I keep getting the wrong Pat codes. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve shaded all the squares with cities!

Mellissamoon · 22/12/2023 02:36

I did it!!!!!! I worked out day 23 finally!

Mellissamoon · 22/12/2023 09:39

Now I’m stuck on 24 trying to work out what the grid with the binary codes means. Is it a Pat code?

Pilscat · 22/12/2023 11:26

No - I would suggest that you photocopy the QR code and work with that

Rainbow57 · 22/12/2023 13:02

Day 24. Previous answers tell you what sqiares to shade in to complete the QR code and then see what you get - nearly there but not quite😀

Jada08 · 22/12/2023 18:52

I've shaded in the squares and I'm just seeing a grid with 1s and 0s! Have I made a mistake? No idea what to do from here...
