    That is a great hint that means absolutely nothing to me.

    Aha! Now we know! What good that knowledge will do us is rather debatable, especially as that is 5 names, which would put us at 28, not 26.

    Here's another beauty where the drums and guitar seem to catch the cadence of the pistons and drivers on a steam locomotive. And the harp and fiddle really give that rush of speed.

    Now that I have made it through my cycle four times, it's time for a hint recap. That may also be a hint. :stuck_out_tongue:

    And a reminder, if you're getting out your decoder ring just like Ralphie, my hints rotate evenly. One fourth of my hints apply to my target; one fourth of my hints are elimination hints, specifically targeting people to whom I am not sending; and the remaining fourth discuss a completely different target-sender pair. So, not my target, but a target.

    Clear as mud.

    Hint #1:
    My box will likely travel South, but it will definitely travel North (E-Frankenmiller).
    Hint #2:
    If I ignored the number of participants in each region, and just said F'-it, and had those four regions play off bracket-style, this target would not be one of the 8 participants of this BIF excluded from the bracket and forced to watch from the sidelines.

    Hint #3:


    Hint #4:
    My target's state contains at least one peninsula. I can neither confirm nor deny whether or not my target's state contains a peninsula inside a lake, and if so, whether or not that lake is inside an island, and if so, whether or not that island is inside a lake, and if so ....
    Hint #5:
    This target's state's population is just over three times the population of the state where the box originated.

    Hint #6:


    Hint #7:
    I am shipping to a BA with zero or an even number of numbers in their BA username.

    Hint #8:
    This target's state name is derived from, coincidentally enough, a peninsula. While the box is coming from a state that also has peninsulas (including a state park named after a peninsula), the name of the state itself means something else entirely, but is also related to a geographical feature.

    Hint #9:


    Hint #10:
    My target has a lower number than I in more than one, but not all six, of the following categories: Beer Reviews (or ratings); Place Reviews; Trades; Posts; Likes Received; and Karma.

    Hint #11:
    This target has less beer karma than this sender.

    Hint #12:

    One of my previous hints should be viewed in this light.
