They seem to be segments of Pi. Try running them through here and seeing what the places are, and then we might have a string of numbers that could translate to letters.

31__88 27 41 53,_62 23 41 41 53 26
00__34 28 02 08,_21 16 02 02 08 06
41 23 83 97 53 88__97 88 53 31 97

31__26 23 83 83 53 88,_33 23 41 41 53 26

93 27 64 26 23 83 97__99 53 23 97 93 97

It won't be directly translated into words, still.

Replacing each couplet of Pi numberals with its position in pi, we get:
a robe, kibbed

binger greag

a dinner, mibbed

volding weigvg

A ROSE, KISSED
SINGER GREAT
A DINNER, MISSED
HOLDING WEIGHT

Somebody please verify!!

EDIT: This was simple substitution EXCEPT that '97' stands for both G and T. See discussion below.

How did you get this?

If you guys really want to learn about the number 3, watch this:

Tried most of my usual ASCII tricks and didn't get very far, just random charactors. :/

You have to assume '97' encodes to two different characters-- both 'G' and 'T'. Otherwise it's internally consistent.

I wouldn't call Rick Astley 'great'...

It could be both Seal, and Meatloaf.
I don't believe that's what they were going for, but maybe there is something in common between the two singers.

While exciting, the final 3 pairs are 97, 93, 97. Are you using some other kind of cipher or another method altogether?

Edit: nevermind

Edit 2: I think Seal is a great singer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_from_a_Rose

Just trying to throw fuel on the flame...here's the possible 2nd hint:

http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...me-hint-status

Maybe it is a coincidence that the hint was released today. The Aztecs had a Triple Alliance. However, the Aztec are not the Maya...

[SenorZ]

Coincidence, geometrically, means occupying the same space? So perhaps a stacking game... The THIRD stacking game ever???

I like the riddle cipher though!

Three atoms make up a water molecule. Clearly its a water game.

Well, as a proud Mexican I know a thing or two about this madness that involves the Mayan calendar. For the Mayans the number twenty was very important, indeed their numerical system is based in the number twenty (I case you didn't know Mayans still exist in the south of Mexico). The Mayans had two calendars, one of 260 days for ritual purposes and another of 365 days (they really were excellent astronomers, the calendar was pretty accurate for that time). The calendar of 365 days consisted of 18 months with 20 days each, the final five days of the year were considered as "unlucky days" and didn't figure in any month.

I hope this information helps someone his search for the meaning of the hint, and if that is not the case, at least you know something more about the Mayan culture
