[FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux

[Anthony Galea]

I think we have an advantage; our workspace is in a hockey arena.

Hey all! Sorry if any of this has been seen already, but a bunch of things just clicked in my head and I want to get them out. Also, I had posted this in the other thread but saw that one was abandoned, sorry to repeat!

I knocked the ratios down to decimal numbers, and I got(assuming I did my math right):

455.36, 6.45, and 2.07

Since there are 3 numbers, they could not possibly be used for coordinates, so I had to think, 'what else could we use these decimal numbers for?'.

Then I saw the Dr Who image, so I started thinking about Tennant's run.

Then I thought about The Library. The Dewey Decimal System.

Looking up those numbers, this is the categories that they reference:

455.36: Basic Grammar, specifically, Italian (probably irrelevant, that last bit)

6.45 is acoustical pattern recognition, and the only classification in the DDS below that is Speech Recognition (!!!!!). Consider the new abilities of the Microsoft Kinect 2.0 (then again, it is built into the system so...)

2.07 was just meta-book stuff. Not sure what to make of it.

So there's that. I might be way off, but it's something at least, right?

EDIT: Wow I'm way late to this party and off by about 400 miles. Solid work guys.

One of my teachers always says that there is no such thing as a coincidence.

What happened to the thread titled "[FRC Twitter] 2014 Game Hint 2" with a thread ID of 123822 ? It just up and vanished within the last hour. No signs of it being merged. Did I solve the poem correctly, and thus it was deleted? I put a considerable amount of time into my post, and ow it is gone. They're conspiring against us...

Well if you consider the sport->no sport pattern it doesn't make since to be a sport (assuming ultimate Frisbee is a sport).

What if it is regolith with trailers again but you score on your OWN team's trailer.

It is possible that they could bring back the Regolith (or something similar), especially if it is a hockey game.

You would have to assume frisbee ISN'T a sport for that to be correct

honestly, they can do whatever they want. they don't have to follow any patterns

True but i remember how last year everyone had assumed no sport because of the pattern but everyone was surprised by ultimate Frisbee because it broke it.

I just doubt them doing that twice in a row.

If it is a hockey game, 174 predicted the future and built a robot for 2014 last year.

I wouldn't be too sure on that... that would make it so that one team just sits there and has balls dumped into their trailer and I don't think the GDC would want that to happen.

FRC is almost at the point of spectator sport. the games are becoming more "fun to watch" because the more interesting it is, the more people who want to get involved. I think this years game is going to take that to a whole new level.

That was my post, I deleted it because it seems as if that was not actually a hint. I realized that it is more likely just referring to the blog post that is being discussed on this thread. Sorry for taking it down with no explanation...
