Solving Game Hints
Looking at the blog posted yesterday, I believe the game hints are referring to baseball or at least baseball combined with another sport. It seems fairly evident that over the past few years FIRST has used sports themes in the games. They have even made a habit of combining sports in the games. For example Ultimate Frisbee and Ascent Rock Climbing.
Here are the hints in the blog that lead me to believe something about baseball: We’re in full swing = swinging a baseball bat get your Kickoff Kit home safely = home refers to home plate getting home safely = an obvious pun for a play made at the plate where the player is "safe" Vespa at home = again a reference to home plate. However, the Vespa comment must have something to do with another game/activity combined with baseball. From the KOP page: D) One set of items, collectively 3 in. x 3 in. x 60 in., 6 lbs. = A pitcher needs to throw 3 strikes to get an out. There are 3 outs in an inning. And the pitching rubber is exactly 60ft. - 6in. from home plate. (This may be a stretch for this clue but it made sense to me). |
Re: Solving Game Hints
Leaving the Vespa at home could be a reference to a home team. The home team could be in posession of some item that the hint is using Vespa for. A Vespa is some sort of Moped or motorbike. Not sure how to link that.
All the inches in the KOP add up to 340. This might be a stretch as well because depending on how you measure the distance between 1st base and 3rd base is 340 inches. |
Re: Solving Game Hints
Vespa is an Italian moped. Vespa means wasp.
I don't know what this means. Just thinking one of you smart people might be able to make a connection somehow. |
Re: Solving Game Hints
It could also mean that the box is simply larger this year and that the season is ready to go......

Re: Solving Game Hints
Well the blog thread got a little off track. And I believe was originally about a hint that wasn't a hint.

Re: Solving Game Hints
A baseball related game would be so dry. And honestly, the so-called "hints" seem to expressions commonly used in that format.

Re: Solving Game Hints
Why would you leave your Vespa at home? A Vespa is a moped. Mopeds don't particularly have good traction. When I was like 15, I had a moped. I fell on it because the ground was wet.
Water game 2015 confirmed. |
