Just one more word needed - and bingo [ANSWERED]

Clue 1:
I don't want to make it too easy so I don't give you the word.
Instead I give you a number: 46212130
I wonder whether this is enough...
(And if anyone is smart enough to find it, please, do not zoom out any more in your response image because GI immediately finds it)

Nice challenge and nice clue (thanks).

That's an understatement hhgygy.

Walter is King of Wizards and also reads minds. 

I'm feeling stupid right now  I spent hours on this...

OK so we are equal after your challenge with the alleged two hints in the title

CLUE 2
It is a geographical challenge so obviously the number I gave as a clue has to do something with geography (as the genius Walter apparently recognized :

Clue 3
OK, I told you the solution is in the number.
Let us first divide it into two blocks: 4621 2130

SPOILER: Click to show

I have already splitted that number in two parts the first time you gave it and used the two numbers as coordinates. I ended up in a super poor village in Romania but I could not find that thing anywere so I gave up. I went there again and still no luck

Final CLUE

SPOILER: Click to show

OK, i won't have internet access for more than one day and this puzzle seems to be too hard, sorry for that.
My last clue for you.
Let us split these numbers even further like this:
46/21 21/30
And, based on ndrq's previous post: don't forget, you need one more WORD

THIS WAS AWESOME!

Ohhh I was SO CLOSE since the first clue you gave but didn't manage to solve it. I could do it much before. Well, better now then never.

ANSWER
Maybe, this clue was a bit far-fetched but two players still followed my logics, congratulations again to Walter and ndrqu.

The number 46212130 meant 46°21' N 21°30' E
Which leads you to an unknown village in Romania called Sântana.
If you google the words seen on the original image plus Santana, you will instantly see the mural in San Francisco of the great-great Carlos Santana made by Mel Walters with the Aztec symbols painted by the artist called Hyde.

great puzzle!

sigh, i was on the right track from the very beginning
but

SPOILER: Click to show

instead of 46°21'N 21°30'E
i only (how "clumsy" of me) typed 46.21 21.30, another romanian village megacity called arad

by the way, this great mural is at 19 th st/mission st, sf

 

I was sort of hoping that the word "bingo" would have something to do with it.

Yeah, and even the word "jingo" crossed my mind but that would have been too easy.

I had tried the coords too, but got lost in south america, since ndrqu said he had not found it in Europe... But no regrets, I would never have used the name of the place there as a name to use to find another place. Too clever for me, especially over the weekend...

Yea I ended up in Santana, Romania, on the first hint. But I just spent hours searching all that city for that building and I didn't find it obviously, so i thought that was not the right way. Then I had the idea.

These are the kind of puzzle I like, I really enjoyed it, keem doing them

I was 95% certain of the city based on the type of building in the background of ndrqu's post. I used to live about 3/4 mile up the hill from there.   And "Hyde" made me think of a street there.  

But the Bingo and coordinates threw me totally off track.  Interesting place, however!

It is interesting that in today's world you cannot exclude the possibility of finding English-language signs in even the poorest village of any country...

You're right about that. Spending hours on a puzzle is never a good solution (at least for me). You're either wrong because there is probably a shortcut to the solution that the author of the puzzle wants you to find, or wrong to try and solve a puzzle that demands hours of going through lists of things (northermost towns, swing bridges, sculptures of children on roundabouts, there are scores of those!!!  ) or hours of scanning entire regions of planet Earth. Like Cyrano de Bergerac said (in the famous play): "Non merci."



So I find it almost immediately or I give up until given a clue. And once I see a clue I start the process all over again. Except when I reeeeeaaally have a lot of time and nothing else to do.

Same with me.
