Everyone do everyone a favor.
Stop, read the whole thread, and then post
or at least do a quick search using the search tool

five 'bots tangling with pasta
a game piece obsessed with a shovel's show
and seeing Montana's green heights

there is going to be a back bot this year

I know what the number 5 means.... The number of minutes it took dave to make the picture for the clue. The picture probably has nothing to do with the game and is just something to make us all go crazy for two weeks.

Actually. i dont know what it means yet, i have read some posts that make some sence but im not done reading through all of them yet. I'm going to think somemore, and read through the 6 more pages of posts, before i post what I think it is.

I have no clue. All I know is that every year the riddle in the clue has confused me but this year it is the lack of confusion that confuses me.

[Greg Needel]

I just thought of another one.....what if 5 represents the fact that there are going to be 5 min matches.... talk about making sure you have plenty of batteries

Over 200 posts based on a mere scrap of information.

No wonder Dave has updated his team role to LMAO.

[Joohoo]

it could possibly be a count down. 5 days till 2007Clue2.jpeg

I like Dan's Idea.

5 Golden rings( from the 12 days of Christmas)

Also for those who are musically inclined on CD. In music the code of sharps and flats for each key is called the Circle of Fifths. Don't know what that has to do with yet, but maybe we need another clue or people to research it.

[Josh Goodman]

Also, on the same idea of music. Music is written on a staff. Perhaps a pole or "staff" in the game? Or perhaps "keys"?

[BuddyB309]

ok my turn to take a stab.

-5 represents either 5 min match, 5 dimond plated plat forms, or black five is a steam locomotive.

-dimaond plate, hmmm.... black diamond? something. there is a reason it is round.

-okay my final answer "hockey"

diamond plate represents roller and roller hockey. sounds reasonable

Tis 5 o'clock here in Connecticut, the 5th state. To note: $5 is the standard shipping at woot.com! (had to do it)

.... I always wondered who they sold all of those useless products (Leakfrog and others) to, now FIRST could be using them as game pieces.

[raymaniac]

Some people made olympic refrences, so maybe the game will be an event from the olympics. So many possibilities...

We can probably rule some out, like javelin, rifle, syncronized swimming/diving (though that would require a lot of team work, so maybe if they felt team work was needed more, they would. Autonomis would require a lot of luck, so most teams probably wouldn't get any points).

Or maybe the Olympics refers to the method of scoring. Judges give you points based on your performance, possibly five judges, of seven and the highest and lowest scores are ignored.


Anyone else notice that Dave hasn't posted anything in this thread?
