Here we go, quick grammar lesson. It only has to be "you and I" when a verb follows, or has this group of people doing something. For example, it can't be "you and me went to the store" because "me went" isn't grammatically correct. Now, because this John and George aren't doing something, it's okay. I hope you guys understand, because I'm too lazy to explain better.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

Sorry if I'm being repetitive I havent had time to rumage through the entire thread.

First
pi is equal to 180 degrees
Baseball diamond: the number of degrees from the pitchers mound is equal to pi
(ie half circle of sorts)

George Burns:Baseball player, refer to the previous description
Comedian who coincidently loved his liquer(spell?)
Ameyst...(cant spell) gem stone believed by the greeks to ward of the symptoms of drunkeness

Also could someone tell me what type of gems and such are used in lasers and infrared beacons.

"Look closely and you will see something between Pi, You and Me."

Well I get two things out of this.
It's quite expensive to change the field shape, so this tells me its possible to have the same shaped field AND there is something between the two driver stations.

Secondly I don't think that there will be a light sensor or anything in that middle because Infrared is beyond humans natural ability to see because of the light spectrum.

Pi is what has me stumped,

Just some thoughts to ponder

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

To be honest, I have discussed the hint with teammates and read the forum. I did not want to think toooo much in to the game because then I knew I would loose sight of it being a game. Here is what I have come up with.

Six sided prism. Maybe finding something on the field. Three "things", either moved, or placed somewhere. Human players must throw something on to the field as last year.

The things I have listed seem pretty certian. I have some other theories also: I like the idea of something being inside some type of a pyramid; I have seen a lot of beacons, maybe it could be the key to the game, something. Hexagonal shaped playing field could be it also. OR even!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVING SOME TYPE OF PYRAMID WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE PLAYING FIELD THAT EVERYONE HAS TO LOOK THROUGH TO EVEN SEE THE PLAYING FIELD! THEN! three of something must be placed somewhere. Or three triggers must be turned on.... also, I believe hanging will come back this year!

Thanks for reading! Good luck to everyone's guesses! Good luck during the six weeks also.

that would be really cool to have a pyramid shape covering the top of the Field made plexi glass or something so people can see though it but still have it interact with the robots like them having to grab something in the top of it or hit things on the sides or something that would be really cool.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

A plexiglass encasement of the field would mean that a LOT of stuff would be flying EVERYWHERE. That would be both hectic and awesome.

Anyway, they may have hanging this year, again, but I doubt the will do it in nearly the same way as last year. Why? Because all the veteran teams will have a HUGE advantage over rookies in hanging. I know our team would just take the arm off our old bot and use it again.

Now, if they made the bar a few feet higher, that would pose a challenge.

But they wouldn't do something the same way two years in a row.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

George Burns was also a comedian...

as for changing the field and not seeing it prior to play FIRST could do something like they did wil FLL and placing a part of the field in different places each time. This could tie in the human players like in '03 when they placed the boxes out the opposing alliences could place the boxes out for the other team... like the red alliance placeing something out for the blue.

Another thing is when they talk about between you and I the robots my need to pass things to their allience partners in order to score.

Yes, it has been said MANY times in this thread: George Burns is a comedian.

Not only was he a comedian, but he was a VERY WELL-KNOWN comedian. If you don't believe me, ask your parents or grandparents who he is. I remember watching the "Oh God!" movies when I was little. I've known who George Burns was for years.

George Burns the actor lived to be exactly 100 years old. He stared in the very popular Oh God! movie series. He also narrated the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" movie. Hence the Beatles connection to the Hint and the reason that everyone keeps mentioning the Sgt. Pepper album in particular.

Actually.. Yellowish Paint.

Beatles reference - Yellow Submarine
edit: Sgt. Pepper is similar to the character in the game Clue's Col. Mustard

Pyramids reference - Usually seen as a yellow or goldish color on images

The orangish-yellow paint might look black through the amethyst colored glasses. Does that indicate anything?
