2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!

[kalfuswi]

I plugged it into an ASCII/Unicode converter and got nothing....trying hexadecimal values

[Roger]

31.88274153, 62.2341415326 = western Afghanistan
41.2383975388, 97.88533197 = mid-west northern China
31.262383835388, 33.2341415326 = off north coast of Sinai
93.276426238397, 99.5323979397 = Google found FRC Blog and CD

Well, it's further away than 42.349905,-71.076072 but who's up for a road trip? The first positions do sort of line up.

HumblePie: that is an interesting thought, shrinking the robot size down, if only a little. Maybe the typo's are a hint?

A ROSE, KISSED
SINGER GREAT
A DINNER, MISSED
HOLDING WEIGHT

Somebody please verify!!

EDIT: This was simple substitution EXCEPT that '97' stands for both G and T. See discussion below.

I wouldn't call Rick Astley 'great'...

If you replace 'b' with 'l', then you get

a role, killed
linger greag
a dinner, milled
volding weigvg

which seems to make more sense.

If you guys really want to learn about the number 3, watch this:

You have to assume '97' encodes to two different characters-- both 'G' and 'T'. Otherwise it's internally consistent.

While exciting, the final 3 pairs are 97, 93, 97. Are you using some other kind of cipher or another method altogether?

Edit: nevermind

Edit 2: I think Seal is a great singer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_from_a_Rose

Tried most of my usual ASCII tricks and didn't get very far, just random charactors. :/

Just trying to throw fuel on the flame...here's the possible 2nd hint:

Maybe it is a coincidence that the hint was released today. The Aztecs had a Triple Alliance. However, the Aztec are not the Maya...

[SenorZ]

Coincidence, geometrically, means occupying the same space? So perhaps a stacking game... The THIRD stacking game ever???

I like the riddle cipher though!

Three atoms make up a water molecule. Clearly its a water game.

Got my hopes up, when i google imaged search the numbers one photo came up but it turned out to be just a site that the hint was posted on
