Patiently waiting for hint #2

[Macdaddy549]

Well we figured out hint #1.

Locomotion= towing something. This is all we care to divulge on this.

Now we need the rest of the clue coming on hint #2

after looking at the pdf found here, it says "The 2011 Hint". After seeing that, it looks like it might be the only one

Bill's blog said "In light of the upcoming holidays, stand by next week for upcoming game hints."

I also believe that Dave has been hinting at multiple hints (*facepalm*), and while that doesn't mean much on it's own, I'll believe what Dave says if there's some kind of backup from Bill.

Don't worry, the 2010 one said the same thing.

When I saved it, the image title was "FRC 2011 Game Hint 1" which implies there will be a FRC 2011 Game Hint 2.

Unfortunately, they the FRC 2011 Game Hint 2 isn't already uploaded...(assuming it has the same file extension, and is in the same directory, and has the same name pattern (FRC 2011 Game Hint #))

Last year, they didn't use similar name patterns, I don't know what the names were, but they followed different patterns.

sorry if I was redundant

When I saw this thread, all I could think of was, "Wasn't one enough!!!?"

Answer to Game Hint #2: Everything you guessed in Game Hint #1 is false. Spend 48 more hours dismantling the hints.

that would be beyond cruel

Game Hint #2: An easy to figure out hint that gives a password to the game PDFs, but the password unlocks a fake version of the manual, leading to the greatest red herring in the history of FIRST.

That would be AWESOME! However, the manuals would have to be obviously fake if you read over them.

Or at least like those tests that they used to give in school on following directions where the first direction is to skip all the questions and go right to the end. Make one of the rules be that these rules are not real.

Not really all they have to do is "accidentally" post an "early edition" of the manual, then drop the hint #2 knowing that eventually we would try the password on the old one. The manual could be perfectly believable up until the day of kickoff when a completely different game is revealed
