Droid X Scavenger Hunt Thread

[Beasley10]

well for number 5......... they mentioned start your engines which could be a refrence to race cars or racing and then 4.3 if you take out the . you have 43..... a number directly associate with Richard Petty Driving school....... once again racing.

i know for a fact they do Richard Petty driving school at Texas Motorspeedway....also 43 is the same # of cars that start a Nascar Sprint Cup Race.

Did they really just repeat repeat a clue?

Droid X designate #12 rocks. With its 1Ghz processing power, it has no choice.

C'moooooonnn.

I guess this means they want someone to go find #12 already?

 

[c4v3man]

Yeah, I know. It's like they're stalling. I bet 8 of the 12 devices will be found by clueless people who aren't even aware of the contest.

Droid X designate #5

Droid X designate #5 has to be in Texas. Big state (like the big screen) way south of Nebraska.

Good point, I don't know why I wasn't considering there. *facepalm*

I've got a buddy who's taking a trip to vegas this weekend, I'm keeping him up to date with any more clues about that one. I also have friends up in Portland who are on the lookout at the airport there. If they're not going to hide one in Utah, at least I can help my other friends find one for themselves.

Find Droid X! - Google Maps

Have Fun with this one...

Our odds have gotten a little better. 16 wild Droid X's! Newest tweet 02 July 6:30 ET "Droid X designate #16 is considered by some to be in the Midwest. It's considered by most to be amazing."

So Midwest residents what is amazing?

i bet these phones arent even hidden anywhere yet. i bet once they give enough info for someone to find it, they will send a vzw/moto rep there with the phone. there is no way these are just hidden somewhere right now, right?

Who knows. They start this without giving any parameters.

Well looks like they sent out some more info on Twitter.

Droid X designate #11 is known to be in big country. Good size for a 4.3” screen.

Droid X designate #17 is near a major metropolitan area. Wait. Did we just say Droid X designate #17?

Workers here built the rocket that went to the moon. They might think Droid X designate #8 came back from there.

I think #12 is in the Dublin (Columbus) area as there is a VZW office in Dublin. Which just so happens to be right by Dublin Coffman high school and Dublin Coffman goes by the nickname "Rocks" (short for Shamrocks).... Bit far for me in Wooster

Looking like droid #8 is in huntsville, al

Most likely not. As only the instrument panel of the Saturn V was built there. More likely in New Orleans. These two wiki articles spell it out pretty nicely:

Michoud Assembly Facility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saturn V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[ceriem]

Lot's of updates today already though. Maybe we're getting close to actually finding one?

Side note: There's a fair at a park on Long Island (where I live) and a radio station is going to be there and they said they would have alot of Verizon Wireless giveaways today. Chances there may be a Droid X there? Pleaaaasee?

But where were all the separate components assembled? If the different stages of the Saturn V were built in different locations, then maybe we are over analyzing this. Was the final assembly in Huntsville? If so, go with that because the rest of the clues fit that location.

There was another tweet that putting it in "Dixie" Alabama's slogan is The Heart of Dixie. Even though its "designed" in Huntsville its more than likely there. The person tweeting has made some other mistakes as well.

The final assembly was at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Big Country could mean Montana referencing it's nickname "Big Sky Country"
