Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

And while I'm still sleepless at 3am, here's the location on the Moon. It's just south of the large crater, but nowhere near any of the Apollo mission landing locations.

Exactly.

Game Hints are governed by the laws of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

We* will never know the true meaning of game hints, for if we did, the observations which we carried out to uncover the true meaning would only invariably change the actual game hint itself. Thus making it a self-defeating endeavor.

However, if we postulate about an infinite number of possibilities for the Game Hint, it will run out of things to change into that have not already been used, and will thus be correct with one of the previously mentioned theories based upon simple statistics of normal-distribution with a mean-value of "banana"**.


* Except Car Nack. The mayonnaise jar of truth does knows all.

** Though depending on the circumstance, the mean-value can also be "Jello", "water" or "inflatable clowns".
