An early present from me to all of you.

[Joshua May]

Hmm, a list of the suppliers, sounds like it could be related to this.

[BoyWithCape195]

the furnishers are the key an average of 33.5 standard FIRST units of time before the way of life comes to be.

the past has proved this true for the past 525,600 standard FIRST units of time.

Translation

The end of the video that shows the sponsers that supplied parts for the kit of parts is the start of an aprox. 67 minute count down before the accurant years game is unvailed.

The past has proved the above statement for the past two years, 2003, and 2004 as true.

Yeah. I think we got it. That definetly puts together all the correct answers so far. If we got it, that really has to be the first cryptic riddle I've ever seen solved without lots of hints!

c'mon Mr. Clock!!!!!!!!! give us the answer to the riddle!

[Joshua May]

So, Elgin didn't post, so I guess it happened again this year. I just looked back at the kickoff video, and it appears that the human-simulated game was started about 67 minutes after the end of the sponsor's names were shown.

No, it didn't happen this year, because there was no need for it to happen this year.

I will post the long winded answer tomorrow.. I need to be able to feel my arm first..

Darn snowboarding injury..

Furnishers = Official FIRST Suppliers/Sponsors
The Key = Game Item
Standard FIRST Units of time = 2 minutes (oops.. guess not so anymore)
The Way of Life = The Official Game Reveal from behind the curtains

33.5 Standard FIRST Units of time = 67 Minutes*
525,600 Standard FIRST Units of time = 2 Years


With that said...

In the year 2003 at the Kickoff, the list of suppliers was shown 62 minutes before the Game Reveal, and showed a robot knocking over a stack of bins with sponsors/suppliers name on them.
Bins = Game Item of 2003

In 2004 at the Kickoff, the list of suppliers was shown 72 minutes before the Game Reveal, but just as text. But, in the background was two different size 3D circles.
2 Different size Balls = Game Item of 2004



*67minutes = Average of time between the two times in 2003 and 2004.


So.. was it worth the wait?
They changed the format this year and showed the game items as soon as the kickoff started, so.. there goes the theory that the pattern would continue.

ahhh... THANK YOU!!!
...but wasn't the background this year a bunch of triangles? aka tetras? im not sure if it was for the sponsors or not, but i know it was during the speeches and everything.

THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US once again!
