I believe that one of the hints for 2009 was a fish. Don't know about you, but I wouldn't have guessed low friction playing surface (or moon rocks) from that. I believe someone got moon out of that, but that wheat was pretty effectively hidden in the chaff.

2010 was the only year where someone actually used the hint to figure out what the game was going to be IIRC. Someone looked at the thickness of the polycarbonate sheet and estimated that soccer balls could fit nicely in it.
