that is one ugly fish

[lafawnda]

so i was lookin at the game hint #2 forum earlier but couldn't find it when i got back online, but i was thinking........since zambonies deal with slippery conditions maybe there will be no carpet in some areas and autonomos of course, with obstructions and hurdling?

I was looking at Dave's signatures and noticed his comments went up to 6, correlating with the number of sides on dice, and seemed to favor 4, 5 and 6. This would be a nice use of the camera for pattern and/or dot recognition. And keeping with the "fishing" concept, lets play "ship captain and crew", a dice game that requires you to get a 6, 5 and 4 in that order. Maybe we could use the camera to figure out how to turn the dice to the right orientation and then place them on a "ship" which we could then fill with "fish" (Or something along those lines).

not to mention, with the description of the game posted a little further down, the mention of the ship. if i remember correctly, one of the posts said that the 'moonfish' on finding nemo turned into a boat or ship, right?


i was fiddling around the 'net for a bit myself and toying with that 'one fish two fish red fish blue fish' thing. got these

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Fis...Fish_Blue_Fish

"multicolour Fluorescent In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) was subtitled "One FISH two FISH red FISH blue FISH"."

http://www.microscopyu.com/articles/...nerinsitu.html

mentions increased accuracy and things like that... i have no idea but maybe someone can come up with something? you never know.


also, on that anagram topic... some stuff i found from the fish's names

lots about jokes and scales
Joke scaled Had Rum
Joke scaled Hard Um
Joke scaled Hard Mu
Joke scaled Dram Uh
Joke scaled Rad Hum
Joke scaled Ha Drum
Joke scaled Ah Drum
Joke scaled Rah Mud
Joke scaled Mar Duh
Joke scaled Arm Duh
Joke scaled Ram Duh

some about area edits
Area Edit Most
Area Edit Mots
Area Edit Toms

"Impaired Lad" supports the lack of vision idea

"Grasp Mutual $@#$@#$@#$@#" - just found that amusing but you never know, it could come to something
EDIT: woops, it censors that word.

So, i've been working on the hint for the past couple hours, and here's what i've got:

-i did a simple substitution decode with the scientific name of the fish, and got 12, 1, 13, 16, 18, 9, 19 – 7, 21, 20, 20, 1, 20, 21, 19.

-Tried googling these, didn't get anything. So, i added the two sets together, and got 88, 129.

-Googled this, and came accross this doc:
http://www.dss.cahwnet.gov/lettersno...l88/88-129.pdf

-Finally, took the accronym of the main subject of the doc. and got this:
S.A.W.S.

I'm thinking the game this year will be some sort of construction game, where the pieces are intertwinable, and we have to put them together. This goes with the morphology therory as the field will be changing drasticly throughout the match. I haven't come up with a reason for the text in the background, but oh wells.

Maybe this will create some branches in your brain.

I think that Dave might just get a jello game...I think that maybe they will put fish into different colored/shaped jello(s) and make you remove the fish from the jello or stack different shaped "jello(s)", also the deal with the vertical migration might lead to having to go up ramps like maybe a multi-platform arena.

Has anybody ever thought to look at this page...
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...96d5f5a3b3b64f
It talks about the Opah, the name of the fish, being an engineering software for small hydropower plants...

[ironbears]

well this seems like a waste of time, has anyone actually ever gotten a clue right before and gave them an advantage?
