[FTC]: 2007 FTC Game Hint Released

[ahecht]

Not only don't I see how Worcester ties into it, but I also am not convinced that "Worcester" and "Together" rhyme.

EDIT: Actually, it may have something to do with the use of PVC Rings

Maybe they took their idea from here:

A king who never could rhyme
Declared limerick writing a crime,
But late in the night
All the scribes would write
Poems without rhyme or meter.

I'm sure the clue would have made much more sense if it rhymed.

And since I'll probably never have another chance, here's a mathematical limerick (by Jon Saxton):

( (12 + 144 + 20 + 3 Sqrt[4]) / 7 ) + 5*11 = 92 + 0 .

hahaha
what a marvelous idea. a robotics wedding.

I like the "17th letter of the alphabet" idea. And the first thing that popped into mind when I heard "Ringer of a game" was horse shoes. Maybe it's some modified version of horseshoes??
And besides, anything that begins with Q's, or has two Q's in the same word, must be weird. . .
haha

Kick off is so far away! They torture us by giving these hints so early!

This was the FTC Game Hint, not the FRC Game Hint.

See the link a few posts above (in Elgin's post) for more information on the 2007 FTC Game, Quad Quandary, which was released last week.

Worcester = Closest town we could think of that ended in 'R'. Our GDC came up with this idea themselves, and in a rather unconventional way...

[whytheheckme]

Could they be talking about Gompei and the Herd? (thats only 16 letters tho)

It is an old Worcester team.....
(yeah, yeah, I know, it's FRC, but hey, It's the first thing that came to mind when I heard "Worcester")

And this is from the folks in ManchesteR, NH? A town that at least pronounces their town the way its spelt...

Not only that, Manchester ever rhymes better!
