Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Has anyone compared this game hint to the seasons past to see if they even lay credibility to the actual game? This is our second year in and we were late starters last year so this is all new to us. The take away is most of what is suggested is probably not even close or the hints never have anything to do with the game...

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

There was discussion of that in this thread a few pages back. I think the overall conclusion was yes, the hints are credible. Some years we've gotten closer than others, and I think Mr. N's Theory could be very close.

Thank you. I admit... I have not read through all 46 pages of posts. :yikes:

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Props to Mr. N. I didn't think we were getting anything done. Now, I think we might have a clue. That, and the 25% weight reduction are our most credible leads.

EDIT: How many of you have read all 46 pages? I have. :)

Would be fun!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Yes I agree with this, Mr. N's idea had the most credibility of being the true meaning.

Not only have I read all 46 pages of this tread, but also all the other side treads as well :D I've had nothing to do, and this keeps my FIRST addiction in check ;)

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

The general consensus is that the game hints are credible. However, they give us so little information that we hardly know anything before Kickoff than we would anyway. Besides, any correct theories are mixed in with so many others that it is very difficult at best to know what may be correct.


I have, as well as the other threads. :)

I have read all 46

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I'd be inclined to disagree. I've read most of the posts and the only one that I find plausible is the one about weight limits, churches and security. It is very improbable that all three of those places were not intended by the GDC. It may not mean anything (and I'm disappointed by the relative lack of posts analyzing that hint), but it's probably what the GDC wanted us to find.

Almost every other is either not directly supported by the hint or the result of finding meaning in fairly arbitrary operations on the game hint numbers. (Yes, three points make a triangle)

If you configure your settings, you only have to read 7 pages. :yikes:

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

I was hunting through Frank's blog, and some other CD threads - in which I found the 'Who's on FIRST' post. I Googled it a short while about, and the major result that came up was an old Abbott & Costello comedy sketch - about a BASEBALL TEAM.
Could be coincidence, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

That's why it's the suggestion. It's just such a perfect combination of history, baseball, and FIRST-pun that it's too good to pass up. If this year isn't somehow related to baseball, I wouldn't be surprised to see them use it for a future game.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

Seriously?!? Are you kidding? LOL thats the whole premise to the statement of Who's on FIRST is that is it a direct tie to that sketch. It saddens me to know what so many people do not know Abbot and Costello more..:(

Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
 

This needed to be addressed now for those sad few who do not know Abbot and Costello.
