I want a game hint in pentameter this year!!!

My personal favorite: 2 + 2 = 5, which is a 1984 reference.

2 + 2 = 5, succinct and vivid representation of an illogical statement

^-- That's a good one.

5: The number of oceans in the world.

Maybe the playing pieces are pentagons this year???

[Cody Carey]

Do they make steel Krispy Kremes?

[BanksKid]

i got nothing.

[Michael Hill]

Also, it is a normal 366x274x3 jpg matrix...so no hidden layers there. Also, I don't see any embedded .zip files (which is something cool you can do...embedding files in a jpg.)

Does anybody else see a lawn on the right side of the picture (in the blue)? Maybe it's just me, but it looks like a lawn in front of a building with a curb and a tree.

*Takes of glasses*

My God...this is obviously a hint at a water game. Would FIRST really give us what we want?

[ewankoff]

it sort of looks like the fantastic 4 logo but with a 5...

i got nothing else

[Jeff Rodriguez]

5 second autonomous.

Sanddrag earlier stated he saw this also on the FIRST site:

Where squish meets squash, rise and wash.

The 5 picture was originally up and taken down yesterday, could this be a clue that FIRST plans on releasing later.

Does anyone else see that the five is just slightly transparent or is my computer screen just that dirty?

This one's for real--FIRST sent an email blast about it and everything.

I can see the texture of the diamond plate through the 5, if that's what you mean.

[cheif039]

yea the texture of the diamond plating coming through is what i ment so it could mean the five is painted on or done in a glazed or colored plexi perhaps?

[BanksKid]

ive been thinking that it is water but for some reason i cant grasp FIRST actually doing it.

Looking for "5 in a circle" on google brings up 5 Thomas Mellon Circle in San Francisco, and 5 time Silver Circle Award winner Cal Kafka from UCI, part of the department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science.

Also, does the 5 in a circle somewhat remind anyone else of the Ishihara Test for Color Blindness?
