1. There is no hint.
2. Somebody complained about the hints being too distracting to students' as they try to finish their schoolwork, so they'll release it in the next few days now that they are sure everyone's done with school.
3. Somebody complained about the hints being too distracting to everyone's family plans in the holiday season, so they'll release it after the holidays are over.
4. It's already been posted publicly online and the GDC is shocked nobody's found it.
5. As rtfgnow suggested, they may have sent it to a small group of teams as a social communication experiment.
6. Instead of a hint with coordinates, as in 2008, the game hint is simply physically placed in a location of significance to the game. Nobody's figured it out yet.

I'm speculating about game hints instead of the game. Wow...
