Probably, or it has been mentioned in one of Bill's Blog posts or somewhere else. 5 more days!

EDIT: Then again there are 5 more days! :P

Is it possible we wont see a second game hint?
Yes, very much possible. Some years, we only received one hint. Other years, they released a hint days before kick-off. At this point, I would focus on preparing for the upcoming season. With less than a week to go, there's not much we can do, even if we do figure out whatever game hint they release.

Let me be the first to breath a sigh of relief.

I think this actually true. I wouldn't be surprised if "Hint 1" is the only hint we see as such - but I think there are some real hints in some of Bill's blogs. If you look at how the FTC director wrote in the days before that game, he was dropping hints all over the place with the titles of his blogs, as well as the pictures he put in the blog and comments he made. I know people, including me, dissected many of Bill's blogs at the time, but perhaps in the Hint 1 thread someone could list all the possible hints (as well as Dave's "hints") in one summarized post and see if something different doesn't pop out.

As for me ... I think I am going to just be happy for the "hint" that we get in 5 days! Until then, I need to keep my day job!

Did such a great job of guessing after hint one, there is no need for a hint 2. It's all figured out already. Why would we need a second hint?

So we can close out the hint #1 and still keep our minds running 90 miles an hour in circles.

The First website never says "Game Hint 1". It just says 2011 Game Hint - assuming it is thee hint, and perhaps the only one.

..Maybe.

Also see that when he posted on the blog on Dec. 28 information for the next few days. So there more than likely there wont be anything till after kickoff.

its firsts way of keeping you on your toes.. we just have to wait and see.. thats all i can say.. i think 2 years ago when they had 3 clues total the 3rd one was released at midnight just hours before kickoff to really throw you off

Are you sure? perhaps we completely missed what the hint was really about! :ahh:

There's still plenty of time for the hint. And I'm not worried about the whole hint vs hints thing. Last year's decryption test also said hint as in one hint but we still got two.
