What if the game was a triangle pool full of water and you had to push a game piece to the other end then take it out of the water. so like youd have to put the piece in the water and then push it to the end then take it out and put it somewhere else

Has anyone tried graphing the cordinates using cylindrical or spherical form?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

what if it was a water game where you put the piece into the pool had to move it thru obstacles in the pool then take I tout on the other side

Also, a friend of mine (Kevin from 365) mentioned to me that no one has noticed that all the numbers are 16 bit numbers.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Every number less than 65,535 and greater than zero are 16 bit unsigned numbers, so I don't know what to do with this information....

8234 is the name of a main belt asteroid discovered in 1997. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8234_Nobeoka
57 is the atomic number of Lanthanum, the first element in the lanthanide series, also known the rare-earth metals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_57

Rare earth metals are often found in asteroids and are a chief reason to mine them, thus the game might be related to asteroid mining.:ahh:

I'd also like to note that the hint is not marked as hint number 1, so it could be the first and only hint, OR there are hints before it!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Playing around with the numbers in different bases...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

If you take each digit in the hint and rearrange them in numerical order, you get

0111122223334556666667889

The middle number is 4, with twelve numbers on either side. This points to the 4th Doctor.

Also, 0 and 9 appear with the same frequency as 4. The beginning and end together suggests some kind of circular game piece, which aligns with hockey pucks or inner tubes- discs, too, but we just had that. Or maybe the endgame will be autonomous, since autonomous was previously at the beginning- beginning and end together.

Talk about ambiguous.

Here are the numbers converted from hex to decimal:
33332/87, 397606/6499, 402214/88070

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Make a program to print out each fraction to a few hundred decimal places and look for things that stand out?
I don't know, but they certainly look like fractions to me, that or a cypher. Plugging in those raw numbers into a google search or a coordinate system is FAR too simple for FIRST hints.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Maybe the number 16 is significant?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

My guess for awhile now, this having little to do with the clue, is weighted balls. i,e medicine balls/ bowling ball/ 48in solid steel ball.

5 digits and a mirrored number?

Radar and Rotor stand out here.

Might be of interest. Perhaps the digits stand for letters
