First, these findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the same person has been posting as Q all along. In that case, Q would live or spend the vast majority of their time in the Pacific time zone, with occasional international travel. The hypothesis of a Pacific Q coheres with other quantitative work on the overall hourly patterns of the Q drops, while the hypothesis of a single Q matches the observed fact that Q had access to the same set of photos in November 2017 and May 2018.

We downloaded 1,720 image files from https://qalerts[.]net/media/. We also downloaded the JSON file of the text of the Q drops and their basic non-image metadata from https://qalerts[.]app/data/json/posts.json. [...] The collection of image files includes both images Q themselves posted and images in posts that Q replied to. Using the information in posts.json, we removed all images posted by anonymous users (“anons”) who were not Q. This results in a dataset of 1,087 images. We then ran the "exiftool" program to extract image metadata from every image and collated the information into a spreadsheet.
