Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
In Copley square you if you look from that point at 342 (deg on a compass)... North-North west or are in the North/Northwest section of the square there is a fountain... also the TRINITY church is located in the North/Northwest section of the square...
Conveniently I'll be down that way tonight. YAY NU and being on coop! Hopefully I'll be able to get some names of any monuments... |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
Based on previous game hints the hint may refer to the name of the game more than any specific aspect of the game.
Previous hints have also been sufficiently cryptic that the GPS co-ordinates may be a red herring. I'm not saying that they aren't relevant, just that the games (and hints) are designed by some pretty bright people who can hide other meanings beneath a very obvious surface clue. What else could the numbers be if they aren't a GPS co-ordinate? Jason <edit> Hmmm... statues in the square... wasn't that the key in Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons"? </edit> |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
on google earth right at the coordinates is the Hancock tower, which is 344 meters tall. If you look at the roof of the building I believe it is a layout of the playing field....

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
You are thinking WAY to small - it is the altitude of the space station in km.

Did a search for Copley Square and Rainbow ( The cable in the first hint )

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
OK- playing around here- this website gives a height for the JH tower as 791 feet/60 stories high. This works out to an average of 13.17feet per story. The same article mentions the old JH building, now called the Berkeley Building, at 26 stories. Mathematically, 13.166 feet * 26 stories = 342.316, which is really close to the number they gave us. Maybe something to do with Berkeley?
That's what a lack of sleep and too much sugar gets you. |

The Green and Orange from the subway lines might mean 4 alliances Red, Blue, Green, and Orange.
