4. The most common day for the first hint to be released is also December 21st.
5. The most common day for any hint to be released is also December 21st.
6. The second most common day for any hint to be released is January 6th.
7. 2012 was the first time after 4 years of more than one hint being released.
You'd probably be better off looking at it from a perspective of "the last game hint X days, the second to last XX days, and the third to last XXX days before kickoff". The question is, how many game hints can we expect? It probably depends on how "easy" the GDC thinks the hint is... if people start narrowing in on what the hint is telling us, like the ball counters from last year, they'll probably limit the number of hints. After all, they don't want us to be guessing all of the game features, and they don't want to guarantee any specific feature!
