Go to Post FIRST has given thousands of young people (like me) a head start in life because it teaches honesty, integrity, and an appreciation of other people's hard work. - Gabe [more]

Solving Game Hints

Looking at the blog posted yesterday, I believe the game hints are referring to baseball or at least baseball combined with another sport. It seems fairly evident that over the past few years FIRST has used sports themes in the games. They have even made a habit of combining sports in the games. For example Ultimate Frisbee and Ascent Rock Climbing.

Here are the hints in the blog that lead me to believe something about baseball:

We’re in full swing = swinging a baseball bat

get your Kickoff Kit home safely = home refers to home plate

getting home safely = an obvious pun for a play made at the plate where the player is "safe"

Vespa at home = again a reference to home plate. However, the Vespa comment must have something to do with another game/activity combined with baseball.


From the KOP page:
D) One set of items, collectively 3 in. x 3 in. x 60 in., 6 lbs. = A pitcher needs to throw 3 strikes to get an out. There are 3 outs in an inning. And the pitching rubber is exactly 60ft. - 6in. from home plate. (This may be a stretch for this clue but it made sense to me).
