Extended to a way of life, this philosophy teaches an approach to getting right to the central cause of a problem, and finding the most efficient understanding of the true nature of things as the first step in countering the issue.

Musashi, by Elji Yoshikawa. A massive biography about the real life of Miyamoto Musashi. A wonderful glimpse into the changes that Musashi experienced while reaching insights that allowed him to author A Book Of Five Rings. His life defined the term "single-minded pursuit of a goal." His absolute dedication to understanding of the Way of the Sword for his entire life had a purity and purpose that was both enviable and ultimately moral at a level I can only partially grasp.

True, and If I've noticed one thing about Dave, It's that he is a tricky little lawn gnome. (figuratively speaking)

also if u turn a V upside down...and put it on top of anthother right side up V you get a dimond...so half of that would make a triangle..maybe we are bringing back the tetras....and 2 Vs in roman numarals makes 10 or X...its really late and i could just be crazy...i probibly am but it just accured to me while watching V for Vendetta that 5=V and that got me thinking...so take what you want from this post...or any of my others...these are my ideas..well except the plinko one...that was a teammate of mines

or wait.. a TRAFFIC CONE? Remember the demand for that a few years ago?

I've also been getting on the baseball game boat..

Remember dlavery's Go! stop! stop! go! "hint" -- when you are playing baseball, you have to "wait" for an opportunity to go around the bases.

I'm also thinking of the game red light, green light that I played with my sister as a kid. Still had to wait for the "opportunity" to move without getting caught.

I also keep thinking of the game Jax.

Suggestions have been made for hula-hoops, and things of that nature, so I guess its possible.

(btw, I'm just playing off everyone else at this point.. I realized long ago that I didn't have a clue what this hint means..)

Yes, it has been said many times before, but before you go around creating new threads, it is highly advised that you read through the "Official" thread where all discussion about the 2007 game hint is taking place. And even if you do not read through the entire thread, at least use the in-thread search function.

For example, a quick search for "blindness" brought up this post, on page 6 regarding the ishihara test, which you could have then simply quoted and replied to.
