A man on Twitter found where a girl lived by looking at a picture of her hand in the grass.

First he determined which state might have such grass in relation to the climate. The angle of the hand shadow helped confirm his guess-- it was Ohio.

Then, by the moisture content of the same grass, he found out which areas of the state were raining during the period of the photograph. And from the style of clothing, he knew it had to be a small town.

He concluded that the photo was taken in Springfield. Then he explored the park areas of the town and found the girl's house and got the name from her car data.
