Hey All:

Been a long-a$$ time since I been on here.

I've spent the last while collecting data from the neoboards about people's buried treasure links 'cause I've wanted to do some larger scale data analysis on it.  I've come to some conclusions (I'll detail them below) but I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me out on this?  I've got 1,434 data points so far, stretching back to the beginning of August.

What I've discovered so far:

• There are at least THREE different maps on which users appear to be assigned randomly
• A user does not appear to switch maps
• The prize moves, but very slowly - approximately 10 pixels an hour
• The prize does NOT appear to have the "known" shape of 500NP on the outside, and a target-like, ever increasing value to the center
• Of my 1,434 data points NO ONE has won the jackpot
• Bobby prizes are random (and counted as misses in my datasets)

If anyone wants to help me out in this, let me know.  I've got a PHP page on my dev server (so no, you can't have access to it or the MySQL database yet.)  It currently also presents a map with the specified number of clusters on it using k-means clustering (like the attached.)

Anyone want to help, or interested?

Let me know.
