I think the sign is a definite clue, paying special attention to the last sentence of that post. Having a ~30 lb attachment for offence or defense could be a big element of baseball, hockey, or an abstract, stair-climbing endgame. I think the new KOP frame gives a little more credit to this theory, too.

As for how FIRST found the sign, maybe someone saw the sign while out and about and back figured it into a fraction. I dislike the idea that the numbers can only equate to one solution. Who says the game hint can't be geographical locations relating to road signs and anniversary hints?

I think this is a main thing to keep in mind. FIRST is about creative solutions (especially with game hints), not just connecting three points. Good luck everyone!
