Normally, when referring to three items in a list, the writer would write it as such, "Pi, You, and Me" With another comma separating You + and.

But in the hint, the comma implies that the speaker is saying that "You and Me" (John Neun and George Burns) will see something between Pi.

I have no clue if that made much sense to anyone else, but that's another thing I got out of this hint.
There must be some significance in that.
How I read it, George Burns would see something between pi. And that something would be "You and Me," ie. George Burns and John Neun. It would go along with the simulated universe talked about in the previous quote, the FLL challenge (which has, historically, had a bit of a relation to the FIRST game), and that "...the center is out" quote mentioned in an earlier thread. I mean, wasn't there a CD involved with the FLL No Limits challenge?

While wearing Amethyst colored glasses, John Neun gave George Burns the following riddle:

"Look closely and you will see
something between Pi,
You and Me."

With our logics, it makes a little misconstrued sense.
I like it.

The proceeding was the clue from last year. The max velocity of the arm to grab the bar wasn't so encrypted. Last year people noticed the quote was from a Led Zeppelin song. So maybe the Beatles idea isn't so far off.

I'm going to forward this clue to Robert Langdon. I'm all thought out.

How would people see? It'd be way too cluttered.

Though it'd be interesting, I don't think it'd be fun for the drivers at all.

Whoa that'd actually be a really cool game. But then what about a hexagon? or howabout a hexagon shaped field, and then there is a hole in the middle of it that is used for the driver stations. That might be why they asked for more money this year because that sounds more expensive.

Sorry, that was a bit confusing before, i mean like an infinite amount of times to score an object. Say passing an object from zone to zone scores you points, as many times as you can do so.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

like a lot of peopel before me have said already, it seems that John Neun is saying the BOTH of them will see something between Pi. What, I can't tell you. But has anyone solved this riddle? Or looked on google for the answer?

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

when i was reading your posts i thought you might start out as two teams (red and blue) then in the middle you combine to form one team (Amethyst) and then score together.

just a thought

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

What bothers me is the fact that You and Me are capitalized. Capitalized pronouns usually refers to God. Something between Pi and God? I think they made a movie about that, but I never saw it so I dont know. That would be cool though.

Call me dumb, but can you clarify how this hinted at last year's game? I must say, I'm rather baffled. I could see it more for Stack Attack than FIRST Frenzy, but I think understanding last year's connections (or if there's some pattern with clues from previous years?) will help us determine where we're running wild with the clue. Thanks!

There could be a middle area of the field were both aliances can score, but maybe the points will only count for the aliance that ends the match controling that part of the field, which would be the center. Maybe You and Me are the aliances in the middle of a circular Amethyst area.

Is an idea that came up to me when i read what you said Kev.

I also think that it would help if we could find the connections of the hints to the game in past years.

i like that... that would be crazy... kinda like zone zeal... both teams could score the points but whoever had the goal in their zone at the end got the points... that would be interesting...

"While wearing Amethyst colored glasses, John Neun gave George Burns the following riddle: "Look closely and you will see something between Pi, You and Me."

OK.. I am going to break this down..

"While wearing Amethyst colored glasses" …. This sounds like they are both on the same alliance at a competition. If each alliance has a different colored pair of glasses.


"Look closely and you will see something between Pi, You and Me." Add this with this….

You get that one on them is on one half of the circle, and one is on the other side of the circle. So, basically breaking the alliance up on the field. Between them is some thing that they have to look closely at, and I assume that this will be a major field element. This could be a IR game object that they would have to find and then carefully manipulate.

hmm... thats interesting... but now that i think of it i agree that that comma is bothering me... it sounds like you and me are between Pi... So maybe like you start inside something with the other team... hmm...
