Count the characters in each word, _ means 0

The doc with video gives us numbers: 053 050 046 049056050049044032050048046057057054053 These represent the ascii codepoints of the next lat/long.

I recognized that right away, and tried entering in the number, but it didn't seem to like it.

Edit: Had an extra number in it. Oops.

This JS instantiates a marker at these coordinates: this.markers = [{ lat: -28.092472, lng: -52.419667 }]; which points to a field in southern Brazil. Anyone wanna go see what's there? :) https://www.google.com/maps/place/28%C2%B005'32.9%22S+52%C2%...

any idea why "-28.092472,-52.419667" would not work? does it need special formatting, or is my firefox incompatible? EDIT: thanks, the adblocker was the issue.

its lat,lng with the . representing the decimal point

Ahh thanks. Any idea on the next one? :P EDIT: Nevermind 3 should be easy for most HNers. Wrote that before I even saw it.

Is the caves.jpg broken for everyone?

same issue on chrome, so not a firefox thing. I think we're missing something

it could be your adblock whatever plugin you use to disable trackers

caves.jpg is broken for me too. I'm on mobile - has anyone checked the JPG metadata?

Yep

checked out caves.jpg with a hex editor, i'm thinking the next clue is embedded in the jpeg, which is causing the corruption
