I was browsing the FIRST site today and came across this:
**"The details of the challenge will remain closely held secrets until January 4. But Flowers was willing to offer a single, cryptic clue. y = ax(2) + bx + c, he said solemnly, before adding with a chuckle, “Just don’t ask me about the rumors about the gerbils and the thousand pounds of Jello.” **
Y=ax^2+bx+c the equation of a parabola if I am not mistaken and the graph of projectile motion; the path of a basketball? perhaps? or could it be just a joke? Hmmmm…
Just something to chew on.
