The players' task is to visit these coordinates (which are accurate to about 10 square feet) on the same day and prove this (with a photo) to gain points. | How it works: Every day, {{tag|Geography|geographical}} coordinates are generated by combining the date and the current {{tag|New York}} Stock Exchange's Dow Jones value.
