Guess on!

[BigJ]

Initial guess: due to the commas and even numbers of numbers per grouping, maybe each pair of numbers is a character.

Game Hint #3


31 88274153, 622341415326

412383975388 9788533197

31 262383835388, 332341415326

93276426238397 995323979397

Number 3!?!?

Seems like some kind of cypher to me...

Since there was no official game hint before, I'm assuming this is part of the hint...
Three alliances maybe?

I'm assuming non of the numbers are coordinates, since a game hint in the past contains coordinates... Or these *are* coordinates and they're playing reverse psychology on us?

I think he's just messing with us. He knows how we'll react. Don't fall for it!

The Rick Astley Picture may have been a legit hint, and possibly another one was some vague statement once made on the blog that we missed...

[karomata]

So the number 31 is repeated twice, so when searching it into a regular google search, one of the top links is this: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/st...n31/index.html
This may refer to the game in some fashion because FIRST has been known to relate games to NASA missions and other accomplishments.

also,
"31 is a centered triangular number, a centered pentagonal number and centered decagonal number."

Triple Play over again?

In the rookie KOP only red and blue bumper material is provided. Indicating two alliances, not three.

Well, that rules out three alliances. Next!

[CalTran]

I just noticed the commas in the number strings.

That or they didn't want to say another color thus showing their hand
