Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

What I am saying is that perhaps we need to *quit* thinking so much math and look only at the shape of the character Pi....

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

"Something between Pi, You and Me" means something Pi, George Burns, and John Neun have in common. This is the number three.

So, in my opinion, this clue tells us two things and only two things: hexagon and the number three.

Three probably refers to the number of teams per alliance since I can't see them abandoning alliances. Also, most regionals are bigger this year. Regionals can be bigger because six teams will play in each match instead of four. So there can be more teams and still give everyone the matches they need.

I think the hexagon could either refer to the field's or the scoring object's shape. I'm undecided here.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

While I also can't imagine FIRST abandoning alliances altogether, it may be worth noting that John Neun and George Burns are notable in baseball for having performed unassisted triple plays.

God I hope not, that last time they had all teams working together wasn't much fun.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

But seriously a sports reference from FIRST/Dean who, in a speech, said parts of sports are bad?

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

I remembered hearing a thread a bit back about a kid hearing Dave Lavery saying something he saw at the Science Museum of Virginia reminded him of somethign from next years game and so I searched their website and during march of 2004 which is when they had the VCU regional there was an exhibit on CRYSTALS! specifically noting HEXAGON shaped... I wasnt there and cant find anything on the site but I would assume they also had sample on display, maybe they had some AMETHYST on show? Hexagon shaped something sounds logical....

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

Look at this bloody album cover people! John Lennon (Neun), known for his rosy specs, and George Harrison (Burns) have a drum between them. A circle! Pi! Muhahahaha! George Burns was in the movie the beatles made about this album. This makes perfect sense. Everything is coming together.

Pi - The Drum
You - George
Me - John

Forms a triangle!!!!
In the center of which is something they are holding!

What are they holding?!

UPDATE: They're all musical instruments. What does that mean? The trumpet seems closest to the center. Trumpets are used to wake people up. Maybe waking up is leaving auto mode. Whatever the case, I'm positive Lavery was indicating this album cover. It's just so like him. First Led Zep, now the Fab Four. And hey, he mentioned the fab four in another clue! Let me find it.

i am with you about the music and the game it is just who is the artist that is the big clue.

Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

I agree with the hexagonal field idea. I think that the Pi references the center of the field being a round hole. As a driver, I think that'd be a great idea. It was very difficult to see around last year's montrous center setup.

Perhaps "between Pi, You and Me" means that the hole in the center is between the two alliance members (You and Me). Thus, alliances will still exist, but they will have to play on opposite ends of the field. I can't imagine not having some type of alliance system in FIRST.
