For her hard work and dedication, Cynette receives her very own limited edition 2008 CyberCards team shirt: HIPPOS ROCK! as well as a 1529 button and her very own Hungry Hungry Hippos game.
To explain the hints:
Directly translated, "hippopotamus" means river horse. A synonym for river is watercourse; a synonym for horse is charger. I merely translated "watercourse charger" to dutch.
Homer's pretty self-explanatory. He's the green hippo in the game, and the namesake of our robot (although our bot won't be green, we figured that's MOE's area).
The highlighted portion of the brain cross-section is the hippocampus.
It's a hippopotamus eye, not whale or elephant.
The coordinates triangulate the hippopotamus paddock at the San Diego Zoo.
Circus train with many animals, but who's putting the vehicle into Overdrive? Our favorite mammal!
Stay tuned; 1529 has much more EXCITING information to come, including a unique response to Mr. Kamen's homework assignment to be unveiled at Indiana Engineering and Technology Day at the Statehouse (Monday, February 25).
Once again, congratulations to Cynette the Sleuth for her detective work. Great job!
Cynette: send me a PM with the address where you'd like your prizes mailed, as well as your shirt size.
