Go at it.
P.S. Notice how there’s no number for the hint (ex. 2014 Game Hint #1). Looks like only one game hint again this year.
P.P.S. This thread’s thread id # is 123456 
And so it begins.
…looks rather familiar, doesn’t it?
8234/57 = 144.45614035087719298245614035088
61126/1963 = 31.139072847682119205298013245033
62326/15806 = 3.9431861318486650638997848918132
Those people at FIRST do like strings of numbers.
Pulled out my calculator right away
Numbers as a game hint, lets see who can crack this one.
8234/57 = 144.45614035087719298245614035088
61126/1963 = 31.139072847682119205298013245033
62326/15806 = 3.9431861318486650638997848918132
Googling the numbers for arbitrary facts…
61126 is a zip code in Rockford, Illinois.
62326 is a zip code for Colchester Illinois
ZIP codes were intoduced by the postal service in 1963.
Not that it would matter, but the post says 16:08 and it was definitely not posted at 16:08… (more like 16:20)
-----Posting pause as people consider hint-----
This thread will explode in roughly 10 minutes.
Oh, it will matter. Everything matters. My (non-expert) guess would be that it was posted at 16:08 privately, and made public a few minutes later.
I thought the numbers might be coordinates. Here they are plotted on a 2d version.
obviously a water game.
NI PXIe-8234 is a gigabit ethernet interface device. Lifted bandwidth limits?
Posts almost never show up on the “FRC Blog” list right when they’re posted. It usually takes some time. And the link to the URL wasn’t posted publicly until whenever the GDC posted it.
Did any big events happen in these city’s?
Working off this maybe the 57 is the total order number, Im not sure how many fields FIRST runs but that number could makes sense
As a CSA and FTAA who signed no NDA’s, I can say that I have heard nothing about lifting bandwidth limits, only modifying some.
