Andy pretty much lost his vote there as the scrapper works on the proper naming. Fair warning to others.K-23
This thread remains the official record of who chose what square when. For that reason any edited pick post is invalid.

LOL, by quoting that post with the coordinate, you claimed the coordinateEdit: which is weird. Cause Andy quoted it first and DIDn't get it after Chris forfeited. This is a scarper bug
J-25Thoughts on the launch - very exciting in some ways, but I don't feel especially anxious about its success, because of the great history SpaceX already has launching to ISS and bringing material back again safely - they're 100% on returning Dragons from orbit. It's very good to see people launching from Florida again, for sure.Maybe being simultaneously excited by Starship distracts from DM-2 a little? Anyway, it's all happening!

Would the last person to get a square inside the yellow circle PLEASE read the first post in its entirety?
Q-28edited couple times, was q28 or q 28 and seemed almost all used - so copied that. scraper was showing, them checked later and my msg is currently last and refresh of scaper and other browsers don't show my choice anymore??
Q-28gotta read the small print (edits invalidate post? missed that first time, otherwise i'd have done new post within couple minutes) hope picking same choice as i did first time doesn't confuse things too much
Off center to wrong direction. Lets hope bit of rough seas and booster walking around a bit before securing or I won't win...
Hrmmm, looks like my pick is pretty close - if the criteria is where the pad of the left leg sits. Out of fairness and to avoid cheating, I suggest that either Octograbber not be allowed to participate in future landing bingos, or that the initial landing point be used. My sincere thanks to Helodriver and NSF for this landing bingo, on this very historic flight.
I agree it's getting far too predictable ( Hitting the bullseye with every launch.) Let's make it more difficult.On the the next one you have to chose 5 spots and predict the rocket center and the leg locations. Of course you can only predict 3 leg locations if you specify the falcon will be leaning.

Let's make it more difficult.On the the next one you have to chose 5 spots and predict the rocket center and the leg locations. Of course you can only predict 3 leg locations if you specify the falcon will be leaning. Overly complicated. If you assume intact landing, you only need 2 points to fix down 2d translation and rotation. So center + leg number one leg number 2-4 follow from that. Even if it goes so squat that the leg-diameter increases to the point it reaches different squares , those 2 points cover that, you get x coordinate, y coordinate, rotation angle and leg diameter.How do we number the legs though. A good reference point is the racetrack on the side of the rocket. Clockwise or counter clockwise?
K-25 please
As always, helodriver gets the final say, but I'm thinking anything in the vicinity of K25 looks to be in the running.

Way to go SpaceX and NASA!
