Why do we care about the game hints?

For me its just the fun of it.

Games hints most of the time are hard to interpret and honestly don't give you a leg up, but it helps get you in the spirit of things and excited, for whats coming up.

The best part about figuring out the game hints are after the game is released and played you get to look back at the crazy responses that people post. Then you get to see who was the closest or furthest away from the actual hint.

Ah, good, someone linked to what the clue was!
Some time after kick-off (may have been a year later, for all my mind can remember), I was chatting with Woodie about this clue. He said that, at the time, they were tempted to release a series of clues, spaced out every few days:
- The number 5
- The number 4
- The number 3
- And to really throw everyone off, the number 7!

Can you imagine how many ways the brain trust of this audience would have gone with those numbers?
