DataConsulting’s Coffee Corner
Connect the dots – Google Maps
DataConsulting’s Coffee Corner is back after popular demand and this time we are putting a modern twist on the classic puzzle game – Connect the dots.
The Managing Director of DataConsulting Robin Clough spent a few days in Los Angeles. Each day, Robin would either go for a run or for a bike ride around LA, whilst trying to spell out a popular ACL command.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, would be to retrace Robin’s steps using Google Maps and work out which ACL command he was trying to spell out.
