What.3.words app. Its an app that has locations mapped using three words. The location is about 9 square meters for each three word set. It's a pretty exact location finder.

Using an app called what.3.words, you can pinpoint a person's location very precisely. If I told you I was on the Mall in Washington DC, I could use the app to get the three words that tell you precisely where I am on the mall after you look up those words on the app and follow the map.

I don't see you anywhere. So by the process of elimination - that narrows things down a little.

Did you ever see the Cheers episode where the mailman, Cliff Claven goes on Jeopardy and all of the categories are perfect for his interests and occupation. He goes into final jeopardy with a $20,000 lead, but loses when he misses the final question, saying, "Who are three people not in my kitchen?"

I would be in the Oval Office behind and near the Resolute Desk. All four of those three word sets are within the Oval Office.
