Oh, I got another one...
(I know this is pointless, but...

)
Ok, here goes:
1. A tennis ball is a sphere.
2. Spheres are one of the three "special shapes" that Archimedes studied
3. The FIRST logo is based on those three "special shapes"
4. The number 4 is cropping up everywhere
Therefore, the game will be played with
4 game items:
1. Sphere (circle)
2. Pyramid (triangle)
3. Cube (square)
4. A foam construction of the word "FIRST"
Side note:
What if the GDC uses these threads for designing future games? That could be scary!
Side note 2:
Have any of dlavery's comments/hints ever made sense (relating to the actual game)?
