I just wonder how close I really am.. someone wrote that there was a point with the exact location, i still have not figured it out. And based on my radius circles efforts in order to get closer i found the 0km "spot". Still don't see the point of it other than the name of the road MAYBE...  :)

Contest is closed

So, here it is:

It's the 121 Dixie Valley Road, close to Lincoln Highway (were you get the 3 km distance)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_State_Route_121#/media/File:2015-04-02_15_18_31_View_north_from_the_south_end_of_Nevada_State_Route_121_(Dixie_Valley_Road)_in_Churchill_County,_Nevada.JPG

Look at this video, at 1.05  ;)



The tricky part is that streetview doesn't work on this road, but only on the main road (highway 50, lincoln highway). You can set streetview on the intersection and you get the view 'you were looking for' below  ;)
The video above starts at this intersection and drives into this road.

The funny part is that you can choose the exact spot (video at 1.05 - 1.07) according to this video, but that the answer says 'still 2km away' (so they havent got the right coordinates).  So when you put your spot a little further up on the 121 road, you will hit the 0km spot, but it isn't the actual photo spot  :-\

Today, and you need to react to the mail within 5 hours, or an other winner will be chosen (according to the terms), that's pretty fast.

Sorry I removed my question because I found the answer  ;D

It seems that they are very inspired by random selection... (FA... )

We have to get lucky now and then...

Guess the persons who had energy time and effort to make 100+ emails are the most likely ones... I am already sure I won't win a shit.

Well that is really annoying. I put a dot on the 121 at what would have been about the right spot, and it said I was 4 kn out. My girlfriend put a mark up there, too.

Different email adresses are no use, if they belong to the same person.
You need a huge family or friends who are willing to participate with their name.
If the same person participates with a second email adress the person is disqualified.
In many cases companies ask for an ID before they hand out a prize (if it's a valuable prize).

It can't just end like that, it would be too stupid. You can make competitions like that every day. I can do it too:
Guess Mark's answer to the question "How you started playing the guitar" and the prize is a vintage family radio.

I hate any competitions with easy rules, because there's virtually no chances to win. I like real competition :wave
