Solid, liquid, gas.... 3 forms of water.

3 has seemed to appear many times. Water game confirmed.

Well I wasn't relating green with baseball. Perhaps the triangle that is formed has something to do with baseball.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know who the third person in that photo is?

[Chris is me]

I've figured out the second number's possible relation to a FIRST supplier. In Rockford, IL (zip code 61126), Gates Rubber Co. announced construction of a factory. This company is now known as Gates Corporation and is the supplier of kit of parts timing belts.

Unfortunately, the current zip code of the Rockford plant is 61109, but there's always the possibility that it was different in 1963, or that the hint was just referring to the city.

I'll work on the third and then give up on this ridiculous witch hunt soon enough.

green could refer to any other sports field thats played on grass.

I was thinking maybe the ground would be artificial or turf.... but the more I think about it the more messier it seems.

Holy cow! That's not the least bit suspicious at all

The game will be a re-do of Aim High but with footballs and a different end game.

Assuming they're equations, these are their answers in sig figs:
140
31.14
3.9432

If you'll notice, these three numbers, written in the order as they appear in the game hint, can be put in the shape of a pyramid as so:



Something that may catch your eye is that if you take the same arrangement of digits and add them together, you get the preceding number in the bottom row.



Which means that the only two digits remaining are...



I rest my case.

LOL, sorry, couldn't resist jumping on the baseball bandwagon!

Maybe... we are the game hint.

Yep the game this year is going to be a Cheif Delphi Forum game. We are going to have to rely messages to each other to. (This is not serious, but that sounds like it would be a very hard game to put points to.)
