Just a though, whatever the solution is, it probably doesnt involve the "/" meaning division because, come on, thats too easy.

So you're saying we should over analyze and ignore the obvious answers? Remember when we did that for the Moonfish in 2009?

It's still interesting that the numbers matched up when the image was oriented to match the triangle. I had seen that in the background, and I couldn't make out what they were until I saw the image rotated and flipped.

some people have said that they are postal codes, all of which are in Illinois, Illinois is home to the THIRD largest city in the USA... Coincidence, i think not!:ahh:

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

According to some earlier posts the color green might mean recycling, possibly of older game ideas. And that someone else found a connection between the numbers and asteroids(in space, not the game), possibly referencing Lunacy. Combine that with the secret (the general ones they told us, but nothing specific) changes they are doing with the kit base, and their use of the phrase "attach superstructure" might mean they are using a similar idea to Lunacy in that robots will need to attach to something. Possibly something which rests on top of the robot or the robot drags along. Might also explain the possible weight reduction and size constraints also brought up as possible clues.

they did mention the kit base could move at about 10.5 feet/second, which is fairly quick. Maybe it will be a racing game of sorts.

To sum up what's been said so far, no one has a freaking clue.

/thread

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

No, we have one, maybe two clues.

Beyond that, lots of speculation, which led to the Great Depression of 10/29/1929, which added up equals 33.

Hah!
3 clues.

:)

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Hey everyone, I have a few interesting items of note:

Pete Rose retired with the most career baseball hits of all time.
His rookie debut was in the year 1963

61126/1963 has a remainder of 273. Pete Rose's batting average in his rookie season was 0.273

As for the number 31 (61125/1963 rounded down), when Pete Rose was age 31, it was the year 1972. According to wikipedia, this was the ONLY year between 1967 and 1982 that Pete was NOT an All-Star.

Also, the number 1972 is the record for most winning games in a career. the record is held by no other but -- Pete Rose!

This is SO going to be a baseball game!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I think it could be baseball...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

People are trying too hard to make this game hint into a baseball game hint...

Look at it for what it is. Not what it could be, or what you want it to be.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Statistically, someone has already guessed a large part of the game already. We just have no idea who.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

What statistics are these? Is there a statistic for game hint guesses?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Actually yes. Give me a moment to compile a list of the (correct) guesses that people have made in game hint threads.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Regardless that stat helps no one but the person who guessed it.

Consider for a minute the solutions to last year's clues -- who could without a doubt describe the game as it was, after the game was released, based on the clues provided and solved beforehand?? That whole "A ROSE KISSED..." poem, what did this have anything with pyramids and frisbees over general speculation or vague correlations?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Pete Rose's first game was April 8, 1963. Matching up with the post time of the game clue at 4:08.
