An early present from me to all of you.

[Elgin Clock]

I will share the answer sooner than later.

[Elgin Clock]

C'mon people.. no more guesses.


This is a sure thing hint, unlike the "Official" 2005 game hint thread.

[Warren Boudreau]

Okay, here's my guess.

The game will be revealed 67 minutes after the beginning of the presentation.

That means that the curtain goes up at 11:07 am.

Am I close?

Wouldn't that mean that we start about 7 minutes late?

If so, how is it going to be delayed?

Posts 13 (T. Hoffman), 14 (Joshua May), and 15 (Jillian B.) are the closest so far.

If the sfu is 2 minutes, then the past is 730 days long. also 2 years.

also, then the way of life comes to be 67 minutes, or 1.11667 hours after the furnishers are the key.

okay...

the key to what? Do Kamen and Co give clues out in the opening scenes of the kickoff? I've only seen one, but I may have just missed it.

I just did the 2 years math. Okay, so what has changed in the kickoff broadcast from three years ago to two years ago till now? Anyone know?

[Jillian B.]

Alright. So... #13, #14, and #15 are the closest to right, meaning, they have to be combined to find the correct answer.

When the whole thing starts (as in the "speecheratin'"), don't they thank all the sponsors? I don't know if I ever paid that much attention, but do they mention the supplier sponsor in their speech? I keep thinking when I worked it two years ago, there was some mention of the supplier company who provided all the boxes many SFU before the game was revealed.

Any closer Elgin?

Almost.. Almost.

OK, well.. since we all know it involves kickoff, then I'll tell you this right now.

If it happens again this year, I may not post an answer right away after kickoff.

But, if it does not happen again, I will post it right after kickoff..

So keep guessing, and look here after kickoff.

Well, in last years Kickoff, 67 minutes before the animation video of the new game began. The list of suppliers had just finshed being shown... I dont know if this has to do with Elgins riddle, but i posted it just to see!

[BoyWithCape195]

One thing that has changed from 2002 to 2003 was the prescence of Dave Lavery (i think so) In 2003 and 2004, Dave was present at bth kickoffs, but i dont see him in the 2002 one (maybe he looked diffent?)

[BoyWithCape195]

Ok, i think i have found what Elgin was hinting at. If you watch the archives of the 2003 and 2004 kick off event, 67 minutes after the suppliers list is shown, the game is revealed. In 2003 it was the curtain going up...and in 2004 it was the animation starting to play. I THINK this is what Elgin was saying, I guess ill just have to wait and see if I was correct in my thinkinh

[Joshua May]

Hmm, a list of the suppliers, sounds like it could be related to this.

[BoyWithCape195]

the furnishers are the key an average of 33.5 standard FIRST units of time before the way of life comes to be.

the past has proved this true for the past 525,600 standard FIRST units of time.

Translation

The end of the video that shows the sponsers that supplied parts for the kit of parts is the start of an aprox. 67 minute count down before the accurant years game is unvailed.

The past has proved the above statement for the past two years, 2003, and 2004 as true.
