Re: Game Hint Solution [probably]

c) I think the chances that they gave us random numbers which are NOT coordinates and all three of them just happen to point to very specific things in Google Maps which either mention FIRST or are directly related (eg. weight limits between January and May) is much much lower than the chances that they were able to find such signs/locations and give the coordinates.
But the weight reduction sign is so... perfect

Weight allowance has changed over the years in FRC and it just happens to outline the FRC season quite well? Seems pretty intentional... If its a red herring, its a darn good one.
