[FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux

[nicholsjj]

I went to google and googled "tame game claim hockey" and came up with this site from 2010. http://www.iihf.com/fi/channels10/ii...h=7a5936 1586

[rahulbekal]

The first hint is
"8234/57, 61126/1963, 62326/15806"
3/4/82 is Landon Donovan's birthday and he had 57 assists in MLS.
1/26/61 is Wayne Gretzky's birthday and had 1963 assists in NHL.
3/26/62 is John Stockton's birthday and had 15806 assists in NBA

The second hint
Steve Ralston, born 6-14-74, holds the MLS record for assists: 135.

Wayne Gretzky, born 1-26-61, holds NHL record for career assists: 1963.

John Stockton, born 3-26-62, holds the NBA assists record: 15806.

The only difference is that FIRST GDC realized that Ralston had more assists than Donovan, so had to change the clue.

Boom. That's probably it.

2010 - MLS inspired.
2012 - NBA inspired.
2014 - NHL inspired?

Water game - well, a frozen water game!

I honestly can't see anything else that the hints would lead to.
And since we've connected assists to coopertition, I don't really see anything else to do - unless we focus on the FakeGDC's 'Game Name' hint.

Do you seriously think FakeGDC released anything useful?

EDIT: and there goes my promise to myself to not post in this thread.

I think it is funny how people started talking about a twitter parody. It was like really they are FAKE GDC.

Edit: If you don't believe they even said that they were oj the West Coast

Anyone else notice the Lunacy wheels and floor on the Fake GDC twitter account...? That seems to correspond with hockey pretty well... I may be completely wrong though and it could be sheer coincidence.

FAKEGDC ISN'T REAL.

[Scott_4140]

The confusion on the first set of numbers comes from the following link:

http://www.ussoccer.com/teams/us-men...e-leaders.aspx


Goal Scorers

Name Goals Caps Era
1. Donovan, Landon 57 154 2000-2013


Assists

Name Assists Caps Era
1. Donovan, Landon 57 154 2000-2013

Since they are both 57, one of them may be wrong. That is why they the DGC said they can't confirm.

Donovan had 57 assists with US Soccer, which is the most. However that's not a league, it's an international team, so using the MLS record makes much more sense!

Has anybody figured out the significance of the poem?

[brrian27]

Also, I don't think the poem that they tweeted actually means anything. I think it's just referring to the blog post that came after, and saying "Okay, the first hint was hard. We'll clarify it with the next one."

The assist idea really is the way to go, I think. Some sort of Coopertition. Hmmmm

[zacube]

My apologies. They seem to have some insight at times. As I said, I could be completely wrong and it could be complete coincidence. It would appear that I am.
