Anyway, I thought it was interesting to start off with 342.24026 as a temperature (in Kelvin of course), so
342.24026 kelvin = 69.09026 degrees Celsius

I don't know, what you can do with that but I thought it was interesting, maybe there was a day that had that temperature that has signifigance? Or maybe someone on the GDC wants everyone to know more about global warming. This hint is starting to remind me the one that corresponded to Triple Play, quirky stuff.

The relation of Trinity Church to National Treasure, I think there maybe something to come out of that, like the fact there will yet again be three teams on an alliance. A few random facts about the history of the church,
Maybe one of those two facts can lead to something, if not it's odd history.

Oh and as an Art History Geek, the Church is in a Romanesque Style, which means the arches are rounded, maybe that has something to do with the field.

THE WATER GAME CONNECTION!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!
So Trinity Church and Copley Square are located in the Back Bay Section of Boston and for those of you who do not know what that means....

Back Bay is a section of Boston that used to be the Back Bay of the City....before they filled it in with Dirt, Clay, Mud, Rocks, and whatever else they could find.

So that means...the game starts in water, and they fill it in with a bunch of stuff. Then as the temperatures begin to rise (see the first thing I stated, about global warming) the environment on the field changes and all of a sudden it goes back to a water game, so teams are challenged to stop the water from coming back and flooding the game area again, kind of like preventing global warming.

Ok I'm done, yeah I looked up the coordinates of the numbers in different orders, looks like I stumbled upon a Red Herring several times. Have fun figuring this one out!


At least other people are speculating about a water based game, a group of us have been having the feeling that this year would be a water based game for two reasons

1. The brand new battery we used last year is waterproof, we may need to use it again this year

2. At the end of last year's kickoff, if you recall, Dave, Woodie, and Dean were all floating on the ringers on water, and they said "I can't imagine what we can be doing next year".....

Thats all i got
