Where's Waldo, Pentagon/DARPA edition

So some smart lad at the Pentagon asks the question, "Hey how long would it take a group of people to discover the locations of 10 randomly placed balloons, scattered all over the US, using only the internet and social networking sites?"

Answer: 9 hours.

9. Hours.

NINE. HOURS.

THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.

HOURS.

Freaking-a. In honor of the Wandering One, the Lost One must exclaim, "All hail the mighty engineers."

Update: Saw this post on people scamming Airline miles. Freaking Awesome.
