Wow

Great post

Hmm. Updated with the newest clue for #17. But it gives differing clues to where it is located. Google worlds largest cement plant, and you get an area near Ste. Genevieve Missouri. Goole first modern traffic light, you get Salt Lake City, Detroit, and Cleveland. Depends on what site you look at.

hmm.......

The first modern traffic light was invented here. In 3 days, Droid X designate #17, the latest in smart phones will be here.

​

In 1910, Earnest Sirrine of Chicago, Illinois filed for a patent (no 976,939) for what is considered the first automatic street traffic system, using non illuminated words STOP and PROCEED.

In 1912, Lester Wire of Salt Lake City, Utah invented an electric traffic light that used red and green lights. However, he did not apply for a patent. The next year, James Hoge received patent no 1,251,666 for a manually controlled traffic light system using electric lights. It was installed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1914, displaying the words STOP and MOVE.

The first traffic light system to use red and green lights were patented by William Ghiglieri of San Francisco, California in 1917 (patented no 1,224,632). His design could be operated manually or in automatic.

The amber light was added in 1920 by William Potts, a Detroit policeman. He actually invented several traffic light systems, including the overhang four-way system, but did not apply for patents. The first person to apply for a patent to produce inexpensive traffic lights was Garrett Morgan, who received his patent in 1923

Automatic control of interconnected traffic lights was introduced March 1922 in Houston, Texas.

Ashville, Ohio claims to be the location of the oldest working traffic light in the United States, used at an intersection of public roads until 1982 when it was moved to a local museum.

The first interconnected traffic signal system was installed in Salt Lake City in 1917,[citation needed] with six connected intersections controlled simultaneously from a manual switch.

Good luck deciding which one it will be lol

Yeah, the one for #8 puts it in a totally different location as well.

Here's my question...when they say its landing in X number of days, does that include today? For example, if its supposed to land in 3 days, would that be counting today (friday) as a day, so the drop day would be sunday. Or does the count start tomorrow, so it would drop monday?

That's a very good question one I would like to receive the answer to as well...Don't want to be at the right place on the wrong day...

good question, they didnt give an X-Days on the first drop, it was just sudden.
Wasn't it like 45 minutes or something the guy got it from the GPS post? Wonder how many people was scurrying arround there that he had to fend off.

I'd say one day would be 24 hours from the post so 3 days would be 72 hours from post but I would count the entire day as fair game instead of the exact hour.

IF they give warning on the phone I'm after Ill be spending the entire day at my suspected location. haha.

Updated with the clue and date for #21/ Washington DC. 2 Days.

With a 1Ghz processor Droid X designate #21 is a center of power. Good thing it will be in this city in 2 days.

Yeah i mean you can go search for these things now, but you won't find them seeing as there is only a 4 hour time window in which to do so, is at least from what i saw. Not only that you aren't even searching for a droid, might be a piece of paper that looks like one, or a plastic droid x looking item, but they stated it would have a way to get the droid x, not that it was at the location.

 

[mass300]

I think it's official on #20 now being Boston....

What's more famous here: Tea or Beer? ---- It will be dropping tomorrow in Boston, Mass; be ready out there..

 

[debacle]

Updated again. But what day? One tweet says 2 days, the other says tomorrow. Will have to wait and see.....
