I've been pretty bored this weekend, so I've just been on the FIRST site going to random pages. Something I found that interested me was that they follow a very precise system on creating new pages.
The system assigns each page a number based on the order it was created in. For example, the game hint's (the picture) number was 18713. The post after it was 18714, and that was about the game hint being posted. After a little more snooping , which is bad I know, but I didn't get a Christmas present from the GDC this year >=(, and I found that while the page numerically after it is blank, the one after that one is not! If you look on the navigation bar on the top, they have already named that page for what they want to use it for. It's a flier for the St. Louis Championship (no content yet though). After that is a blank page for the 2011 Decryption Test. After continuing on, and finding some more posts, at id number 18728 I find the title of the page to be "Content to be Published".
My thinking is that in those blank pages, or in that page to be published, there is the second game hint. Maybe in the source code? I haven't looked to deep into that yet.
Not saying that really anything can come from this, but it helps people like me from tearing their hair out before kickoff

hmm, your right. There are extra pages. In fact, 18713 is the game hint picture and its labeled "2011 game hint" but if you go back to 18712 its a blank page called 2011 Game Hint 1. I see nothing in the source code hinting at anything though. And it seems like it would be a pretty big hint if there was.

For anybody wondering, it's not in the Decryption Test, which is now out.

As of 3:50 this morning on the FIRST of January there has been no release of clue #2. Here is to hoping that it is at least released later today

I'd be greatly surprised if the hint came out before the 3rd. It's the weekend, and the weekend of the 1st at that.

they should do a rapid-fire thing where they release a new hint every day the from monday to the kickoff

And would all of those be investigated before or after school or work next week?

During school. Brainstorming during lunch is always interesting.

True that!

Keep in mind too, that when the picture is scrolled over that it is labeled "2011 game hint 1"
i feel like theyre trying to throw us off course though, like it was said earlier, their pages are numbered, and ive noticed that in the past.
Or were just stuck with the way things are with one clue that may contain all the answers.

Grrr, I was really hopeing hint number 2 would come out during Break, but here we are 1 day left of it and not a clue insight. Well I'll be back to checking the computer everyday prior to lunch for the clue.

I'm going to check before school, during lunch, and repeatedly after school for the hint. I just hope my mind doesn't wander during class thinking if the hint was just released or not.
