This got me thinking, just like last year, how they only showed one piece of the game which was a piece of the twoer where the ball woudl fall from, maybe they are doign the same this year? Only this year they are talking about the camera uses in the game this the picture being reversed and in black and white. Maybe it means there is a target with similar properties?

The relevance could be that there is no relevance: We know the game isnt going to be about 60s singers...

Right?

Re: 2011 Game Hint #1

The 2011 pix is Little Eva - famous song "Loco-motion" - does that hint a railroad activity or simply "Loco" or crazy motion?

This is the first recorded use of the expression, which is still common for 'trying to revive interest in an apparently hopeless issue.'

He was wrong about the Reform Bill of 1867, however. Parliament 'carried' it, as the British say."

Or maybe that's what they want us to think! The hint is exactly what we are saying, it's just that even if we figure out what the hint really is, it isn't the right encryption code for the PDF or the elaborate design of the FIRST game. Hints are fairly useless even if we do figure it out.
