a summary of over 150 posts! . Most people have given ideas as to what the clue means (go figure). Some claim that the clue has everything to do with the Beatles, and others argue that it is all about baseball. Many (ahem) unique ideas have been brought up. Everyone is frantically trying to figure out what the clue is before the kickoff. People have even come up with entire game designs including graphics!

now on to my own 'unique' thoughts

I think that if one looks back at the clue last year (stairway to heaven), it didn't have much to do with the game, a few small steps, and two ways to get up to a platform, not very much to do at all. The clue seemed to have been there just to wet our appetite, (for which I am very glad). I think that this years clue will be similar, and we will all smack our foreheads and go "OH!" when the game is revealed.

Personally I like the idea that the amethyst has something to do with the layout of the field, or some small aspect (such as different colored Plexiglas, or neutral zones that are purple in color). I love this clue, and I have lost much sleep over it!
