Thanks to Sunburned Goose I think I have an answer http://i.imgur.com/3sfWduW.gif The geomask obvsiously rotates on an axis related to the movement of the Earth through the course of a day, all we need to do is wait for when the sphere turns to the correct time, the angle will be close to vertical and we can fill in the top and bottom

    12 o'clock position on the geomask would fill in the blank at the top of the output? what time zone would or should that be?

  • this might actually work out perfect, the top four bars on the left may coincide within the hour

  • i have several tabs open of both the alphalupi page & the dropbox .gif that freefall722 posted. i can switch tabs to see the changes between refreshes. currently dots are filling in at the 10 to 11 o'clock positions

  • I still don't think that's right, otherwise we would have filled the image by now. If the same small group of people could slowly fill in a circle by activating throughout the day we would have hit it by now. I still think each geographic location has a small frequency pattern that they add to the puzzle.

  • I might be wrong but I think that gif is over the course of 15 hours, I was taking layers at 6 am PCT and they were near horizontal, now it's leaning left side up.

  • It is possible, I'm still just skeptical (in past days we were able to get more circular patterns early on).

  • I think the patterns are somehow based on geo-location of IPs but it's just my personal speculation. It would be possible that they use latitude/longitude I suppose.

  • that's what I was thinking, geo-location, but you're saying the others came into view much faster, do you think that was due to populations, speed of rotation, axial tilt, or our measurements?

  • or all the above? i think its more complex than we are assuming

  • No clue. I was guessing a given region had a specific pattern. But I stay logged in as much as possible just in case.

  • i think you must be right, the tilt is looking the same for both the animation and what I can glean from the stills. I hope the -blam!-ing north pole reaches higher than the bottom of the letters, that may be why Mercury is -blam!-ing on us
