Not only don't I see how Worcester ties into it, but I also am not convinced that "Worcester" and "Together" rhyme.

EDIT: Actually, it may have something to do with the use of PVC Rings

Maybe they took their idea from here:

A king who never could rhyme
Declared limerick writing a crime,
But late in the night
All the scribes would write
Poems without rhyme or meter.

I'm sure the clue would have made much more sense if it rhymed. :)

And since I'll probably never have another chance, here's a mathematical limerick (by Jon Saxton):

( (12 + 144 + 20 + 3 Sqrt[4]) / 7 ) + 5*11 = 92 + 0 .

hahaha
what a marvelous idea. a robotics wedding.:yikes:

I like the "17th letter of the alphabet" idea. And the first thing that popped into mind when I heard "Ringer of a game" was horse shoes. Maybe it's some modified version of horseshoes??
And besides, anything that begins with Q's, or has two Q's in the same word, must be weird. . . :p
haha

Kick off is so far away! They torture us by giving these hints so early!:ahh:

This was the FTC Game Hint, not the FRC Game Hint. :)

See the link a few posts above (in Elgin's post) for more information on the 2007 FTC Game, Quad Quandary, which was released last week.

Worcester = Closest town we could think of that ended in 'R'. Our GDC came up with this idea themselves, and in a rather unconventional way...

Re: [FTC]: 2007 FTC Game Hint Released
 

Could they be talking about Gompei and the Herd? (thats only 16 letters tho)

It is an old Worcester team.....
(yeah, yeah, I know, it's FRC, but hey, It's the first thing that came to mind when I heard "Worcester")
