Re: Game Hint #1

Given that last year the clue was in fact a latitude and longitude coordinate it might also be worth considering the CAAB Taxon Code for Lampris guttatus is 37 268001 which could easily be construed as a latitude in North America. If a Clue # 2 comes along it might be a reference to a longitude. I doubt that the GDC would give us a lat/lon 2 years in a row but you never know.
Last year we got a lat/long/bearing as a clue. We knew it was a lat/long, and even had it down to the right place in Boston. Yet still, no one figured out that the hint meant the tortoise and hare statues in that reside in Copley Square at the given bearing when standing at the main statue in the Square. The obvious is so hard to see sometimes...
