How convenient that if we use PI as a base for the letters it works out.

hint #3

Submitted by bob kruemp. on Sun, 12/23/2012 - 17:54.

Some observations.Recent album by The Script, titled "#3", features Will.i.am on "hall of fame", about champions. "Singer great"?
Three Mayan calendars, each round, work together.
No zeros in clue. What if we ignore 1s and 2s.
Earlier blog about Mayan calendar, solstice and 'coincidence'
Just some obsevations...maybe not meaningful. I'm leave that to you brainiacs!

Anagrammed Hint

Submitted by Maddog on Fri, 12/28/2012 - 18:17.

Having a little time on my hands, I used an online, iterative anagram solver, to rearrange the poem into this:

"rearrange letters, showing message hiding inside, kiddos"

So, the hidden message is that there is a hidden message !?!?

Game Hint

I just want to point out that if it were to be separated into pairs and if you had a document or something the first number corresponds to a row and the second then corresponding to the word in the row or the first letter of that word.

probably not mayan

Submitted by Balthazar on Sat, 12/29/2012 - 10:32.

first likes to use cultural events in their games, (lunacy and the moon landing, for instance) and a 3rd Bak'tun (Mayan calendar cycle, every three of is a date for celebration)that occurred on Dec 21 was a media field day. however it's also around christmas and "Singer Great" could also be deciphered as "Sinter Treat", Sinter Klause being the dutch word for Santa clause. so it's either alluding to the mayan calendar or a treat from santa

Probably Mayan

Submitted by Your friendly n... on Wed, 01/02/2013 - 22:19.

I don't think, though that FIRST would want to affiliate itself with a religion. Granted Santa isn't necessarily affiliated to just Christianity, from what a surprisingly detailed wiki page tells me, he is littered throughout history and many different cultures and our current view of Santa is a culmination of many original traditions. Even so, people might be offended by the reference, and I'm sure with FIRST's current mission giving up their secular status is not on the agenda. Woohoo! ōllamaliztli it is!!

Treat from Santa?

Submitted by Summoner X on Sat, 12/29/2012 - 19:48.

What do you mean by that? A treat from Santa. That he will pay for all of our parts or something.

Wouldn't that be nice!

did any one look at the dare

Submitted by Andrew SP (FRT#1850) on Mon, 12/31/2012 - 12:09.

if we set the date realease of thrid hin it show 21 DEC 12 if we look at it as a feild the 2's is the players and the 1's is the protection glass. D and C are continants which could be robots E is a vowle so in fact we probaly have to scor something in the middle. THen the thrid game hint refering back to the first game hint show that were are playing with the logo pieces. so we are pretty probably hanging peice like logomotion in the center of the feild

rime

Submitted by sarabeth#238 on Wed, 01/02/2013 - 16:55.

FIRST mind games

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 01/02/2013 - 22:24.

They probably send the hint out just to watch and laugh at our ridiculous conjecture.

Submitted by Chromimom on Thu, 01/03/2013 - 20:37.

I think ROSE is Researrch Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences, part of NASA . NASA is working closely with FRC this year. I believe KISSED is Keep It Super Safe.

Hints

Submitted by Prince on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 20:57.

Could it be balancing something like a seal. Great singer is Seal. Song is "Kiss from a Rose"
Song opens with a tower. Just guessing

sound references

Submitted by STORMgrunt on Sat, 01/05/2013 - 09:55.

maybe instead of the robot "singing", it will have to recognize sound sequences. either way we will find out soon

Did anyone find out what the answer was for real?

Submitted by Mo on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 21:10.

What did the game hint actually mean?

Reveal?

Submitted by Rachel Holladay on Thu, 05/23/2013 - 09:45.

So since the season is official over (on to off-season!) can we know what this hint actually meant?

Yes!

Submitted by Frank Merrick on Wed, 05/29/2013 - 17:42.

The folks who got to the poem had it right.
A ROSE, KISSED (Kiss From a Rose is a song by Seal)
SINGER GREAT (The Great 'Seal' of the United States has a pyramid on its reverse)
A DINNER, MISSED (Dinner plates are typically discs. 'Missed' makes this line rhyme with the first line)
HOLDING WEIGHT (Refers either to the disc counting method, or robots holding themselves off the ground, your choice)
This clue was a joint creation of several members of the GDC.
I released it as Game Hint '#3' just for fun. The '#3' was just a symbolic identifier, there weren't any earlier game hints.
