I received a blank post-card in my post the other day, with numbers/letters on that I cannot decipher?

Question

A blank card must have been hand delivered to my home, as it didn't have my address on. However, it did have my (first) name on it. There was nothing on the card other than the following letter/number combinations:

52 / 28.7 N

1 / 53.9 W

I have no idea what they mean, but as it was hand delivered and had my name on it, it'd be nice to know! No idea who posted it either, as it was on my mat first thing in the morning, way before the postman arrived.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Answer 1

They very much look like co-ordinates on a map.

In all seriousness I would bet any amount of money that one or more of your friends are about to either wind you up or plan an honest surprise for you.

Nine times out of ten there is a very normal explanation behind the "paranormal". It's all just hype designed by very clever-yet-honest hoaxers or by con-men trying to make easy money.

You can either follow the map or ignore it. Either way be careful.

Answer 2

Look up the co-ordianates on a map. Sounds cool.

Answer 3

those are map co ordinates..

type them into a search engine and it might give you a location.

thats quite frightening....

Answer 4

Looks like the Latitude and Longitude of Birmingham New Street Station.

Aw roight.

Answer 5

Well, it wasn't me! Like others have said, those numbers look like a latitude/longitude to me.

Answer 6

Looks like some sort of map reference, you tried looking on Google Earth at those co-ordinates? You might unearth some buried treasure.

Answer 7

It is a map reference, the corner of Virginia Ave and Market St, Clarksville, Virginia. Maybe you know someone who lives there.

Answer 8

the first one is a grade 1 hurricane,and the second one is a tropical storm.

Answer 9

you possibley been chosen for something, and this could be a screening test to see if you are the right candidate orone of.... or it could be someone fooling around

Take it to a specialist someone who can decode cryptic messages....

Answer 10

to me they look like coordinates as well my friend :) But be cautious since you do not know who it is from, could be a scam !   But look it up on a map and see then it might be a familiar location

Answer 11

52 degrees 28 minutes North and 1 degree 53 minutes West are the coordinates of central Birmingham.  The 7 and 9 are probably seconds - so, close enough to identify a street but not an individual house.  But its probably where you (or your secret admirer) lives.

Answer 12

If they are map references (which they strongly looklike), then it depends how you interpret them.

One location it gives on Google Earth is a place slap bang in the middle of Birmingham.

Another is the headquarters of the Blackheath and Bromley Harriers AC.

Answer 13

silly... you are supposed to meet someone at the Berlioz Restaurant!

You are late!

Answer 14

Could be something waiting for you if you can decipher the code, assuming it's coordinates of some sort.

Answer 15

yep latitide and longitude map coordinates. Try looking it up on goole earth or microsoft virtual world. sounds spooky thousgh, be careful!!

Answer 16

I don't know...but I hope if you find out you'll post the answer and what happened.

Answer 17

First you convert the decimal latitude and longitude to seconds

0.7 x 60 = 42

0.9 x 60 = 56

Then you go to a grid converter to get British Ordinance Survey letters and number

SP06964.86717

Then you go into a map reference converter

which shows you a map of central Birmingham uk

with an arrow pointing to Birmingham New Street - Central Rail Station - for Birmingham

The next postcard needs a time and platform number, or its no date !

Answer 18

well seeing as we did this in geography once it looks like map co-ordinates!

Answer 19

it sort of means to me latitude and longitude like 52/28.7 North and 1/53.9 west. or some spirit is trying to contact u in a number kind of way like them puzzles that this number means a certain letter.

Answer 20

looks like Latitude and Longitude to me.

Answer 21

look like map points longitude and latitude to me...

maybe you've got you very own stalker...lol
