    Hints for BIF #13


    Hint #1: Shipping west.

    Hint #2: According to Google Earth, you don't live on a peninsula (or an island or a lake or an island in a lake or ...)

    Hint #3: The HBC didn’t deliver alcohol to your territory.

    Hint #4: I’ve been to your state a few times and to your city once – had to pull an OJ through the airport to make my flight back home. Actually, I’ve been to most states, except Hawaii and Idaho, and a couple others that are west of the Mississippi.

    I'm currently on a beer run to Grand Rapids, picking up some Brewery Vivant stuff. I consider it local, since it's only a six hour drive which makes it as close as Philly.

    Part of what you write here is not incorrect.

    I believe I'm still out, but I did not consider mixing the numbers up. Was reading them in order. Nice twist!

    Was out a couple of hints ago, but my Spidey-sense is tingling about who your target might be.

    Correct. I would have strung it out longer, but I figured you have much more important things to focus on starting tomorrow and I figured it may be hard to keep up on the thread. Box likely won't be sent until early the week of 3/29. Hopefully by then you guys will have settled in at least a tiny bit with the new addition.

    Hint #11: Two of my best friends and my two favorite relatives live in the region (though not all necessarily in the state) where my target lives. The region is also a potential future region of residence for me.

    You are a kind soul :wink:

    Its funny because I had all the numbers, but obviously in the order of the hints, so I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Also nice use of Flyers legend Nate Prosser. :joy:

    Hint #12: I want to expand on Hint #10 a bit ... I wonder if anyone has ever called @WunderLlama "Doc Maynard" ... because frankly, if not, that should be his nickname. Dude slings ninja boxes like a old western gunslinger ... but anyway, yea, Doc Maynard.

    Hint #12: I've tried to provide no "impossible hints"; i.e., hints that one could have no possible knowledge of, including the hint just above. With enough effort (probably too much effort), one could probably find the answer to even the more obscure ones.

    I thought you'd appreciate that. Eye of the tiger. Definitely a journeyman. I have to remind myself sometimes of how freaking good you have to be in any professional sport just to make it to the pros, even as a role player.

    The least sure I have been on a call out, but I feel with all the lager talk it is me (or at least I hope it is me). If not I will sit in the corner of shame.

    Offical call out that is @Dimidiata is my sender

    Seriously? I live very near there - want to meet up for beer? Vivant is less than 15 miles from my house.

    Erm, um, I've sucked at random number guessing this BIF so no real hope but hey, why not. I'll guess 91

    Ok, I have to admit I'm getting a little obsessed, perhaps a little crazy, with your hints. For instance, if "character" is your measure of man, and "hectare" is your measure of land, both of those words share the exact same letters, but then you lose me . . .

    At this point, all I'm willing to say is that I don't know you're not my sender.

    EDIT: I now realize that subtracting the letters of "hectare" from "character" leaves "ca," which is, in fact, my home state, and could possibly be where I "sew" (?) a second season. Still, you've "sewn" enough ambiguity into several of your hints to keep me hesitant to call you out . . .

    I had to do something similar the last BIF I was in here on BA. One of my targets was about to become a dad, so I sped things up, so he could worry about the little bundle of joy. I also had to speed up with my other target, because he was about to head out to sea for a month.
