She suggest to take their current Longitude and Latitude coordinates and put their birthdays after the decimal points to get a location. For example, if Cueball was born on let's say April 1 1986 and Megan on August 12 1988 ad they are somewhere in New York (40.768062,-73.98468), the coordinate they type will make 40.040186 and -73,081288. The good thing about keeping the number before the decimal point is that the distance is that the distance is realistic to do by car still. Megan suggests to make out in this place. |
