I can't believe that there is no discussion about "The Bride of Frankenstein" being a possible game hint

Nah, too obvious. They're bringing back an old game and playing it again but different. The question is which one, and I'm not willing to take a guess--there's only 24 of them to choose from.

Well it's probably not gonna be 2008 and 2014. 1 in 22 seems like good enough odds :rolleyes:

Probably. The question is going to be whether they keep the two fields for Einstein in each event, or have Mass in one and Energy in the other.

My vote is for Mass and Photoelectric in one, Energy and Relativity in the other. On the photoelectric effect and general relativity hang all of modern physics.

I sent Frank an email about this a while ago. Glad to finally have the answer :)

But isnt Frankenstein, and his bride, put together with parts from a bunch of different bodies? Would lend to believe of another amalgamation of previous games.

To help the dyslexic and the nearly so, I would like to see unique first letter names.
For example: move one of the "D" names (Daly or Darwin) to Houston and find a name to replace either Carson or Curie.

An assembly (NOT stacking) game could be very cool.
I'm envisioning a cross between Logomotion and Hangman, then flip the switch and the figure comes alive to sing "Puttin' on the Ritz"

I wish the powers that be had considered a Hawking subdivision given that the gentleman is still alive (will be 75 in January, 2017).

I feel particularly bad for the yearly Darwin Award Winners.....

Good idea. Although maybe they have a rule like stamps - can't honor any living person.

But if it's a game involving throwing things, I could imagine a game announcer saying "hurling on Hawking."

...especially when I think about the stories of those few who won the Darwin Award and lived to tell about it.

Re: [FRC BLOG] Bride of 2017 Updates

Personally as a creationist I'm not too thrilled with a Darwin division. I'm sure there are others that feel similarly. Not trying to start a war here I just figured I'd throw that out there. Being Darwins 'discoveries' are controversial im not exactly sure why first thought it was a good idea to use his name opposed to thousands of other names that they could have potentially used.
