Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

If Copley Square really is a clue, then maybe the "Square" is the real clue.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

I didn't read every post so Sorry if this was already mentioned but Copley Square is very close to "Co-Play Square"

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Woodie's game hint

"Just be careful about the stock market, with jello, gerbils, and K'nex blocks."

mentions "Squares", the stock market could be a stack that goes up & down.

When I think of Gerbils, Desert Rats, Rodents or Mouse (Mice) come to mind and may indicate a change in OI before we thought.

Or possibly the squares are going to be loaded on goals that move around the playing field (cage) like gerbils in a cage? Mobile goals may be like the "stock market, with jello" if the playing pieces are not stable.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

dunno if anyone has said this or not, but if your idea for what the third number is gets you a number that is "close" to the third number....its probably wrong...i don't think that they would give us a number to nine signifigant figures if they wanted us to be "close"...just a thought...

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

the tortouse and the hare may represent the Boston Marathon because there is a structure in the square that does. The marathon only ends about a block away. I have now idea how this would relate to any kind of game

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Combining thoughts from this thread and the Hint #3 thread ...

Coordinates (if that's what they are) point to Copley Square. Someone posted a picture of Paul Copioli on one of the tetra goals in reference to #3. What do both have in common? The first syllable is "Cope" ... perhaps the game is Coping with something.

342.242026 happen to be exact coordinates to Copley Square, which is where MIT also happened to be founded...interesting

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

Anyone else notice trinity church, 3 clues, 3 shapes (triangles circles and squares)?

Not that that means anything and we're all probably way off...

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

I believe the exact coordinates point to the Hancock building in Copley square, and the third coordinate might have something to do with the height.
