Game hint #3

Vet hurdling FIRST tetra, hidden in the PDF decryption test off http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc...t.aspx?id=3828

The decryption key is given there as "2008DecryptTest".

The tetras were the game pieces in the 2005 game "Triple Play".

Veteran? Veterinarian? Vet: "To subject to thorough examination or evaluation."

Re: Game hint #3

Sounds too good to be true. I still think there will be a combination of triangles, circles, and squares this year so here is conformation of triangles ... I hope.

Re: Game hint #3

The Decryption test shows all three clues on one page. Man, just when you thought you regained your sanity they take it away with yet another clue.

Re: Game hint #3

Well this throws a wrench into the works of my game guess. I thought that you would have to use the IR sensor to open some type of door and move whatever's behind it into a location. I have no idea what vets hurdling FIRST tetra means. Probably something to do with Triple play.

On another note, has there ever been three clues given out before?
