Re: Patiently waiting for hint #2

I've been pretty bored this weekend, so I've just been on the FIRST site going to random pages. Something I found that interested me was that they follow a very precise system on creating new pages.
The system assigns each page a number based on the order it was created in. For example, the game hint's (the picture) number was 18713. The post after it was 18714, and that was about the game hint being posted. After a little more snooping , which is bad I know, but I didn't get a Christmas present from the GDC this year >=(, and I found that while the page numerically after it is blank, the one after that one is not! If you look on the navigation bar on the top, they have already named that page for what they want to use it for. It's a flier for the St. Louis Championship (no content yet though). After that is a blank page for the 2011 Decryption Test. After continuing on, and finding some more posts, at id number 18728 I find the title of the page to be "Content to be Published".
My thinking is that in those blank pages, or in that page to be published, there is the second game hint. Maybe in the source code? I haven't looked to deep into that yet.
Not saying that really anything can come from this, but it helps people like me from tearing their hair out before kickoff
