    That's the only Seattle Dick's I've been to. I've hit the one in Spokane, across the street from Lumberbeard, many times, however. Sometime this week, I'll probably hit it again, as I envision a trip to Lumberbeard occuring soon.
    I suppose that's a haul hint.

    I thought that the Spokane Dick's had no connection to the Seattle area Dick's?

    EDIT: They are not connected: https://spokanehistorical.org/items/show/722

    I'd always heard that they were connected, but split off from one another decades ago. Interesting to know the truth. They are connected in the sense that folks like to use the phrase "eat a bag of Dicks" when referring to them.

    Um, you have the number for my entry wrong. The correct prediction is 18.8495559215.

    Do not mess with my pi.

    Hint #3: My target has not rated a beer as a “5” here on BA.

    Hint #1: I am shipping South and East.
    #2: The nearest MLB team to my target is not in the same division as the Seattle Mariners.
    3: I have physically been in my targets state of residence. (I have been to 29-1/2 states. the 1/2 depends on whether one counts just being in the airport changing planes as being in the state. I generally don't.)
    4: My targets state touches a large body of water.
    5: The body of water my targets state touches is neither the Gulf of Mexico nor the Rio Grande.
    6: My target lives North of I-20 and East of I-35.

    I actually haven't laid out any helpful hints yet.

    Hint #****: My target has a beer in his avatar picture, or the word beer in his name, or he likes to drink beer. At least one of those.

    I have never done so, but it's not terribly long ago that you were my sender, so I'm sceptical that I'm the only one who hasn't rated a beer a full 5.

    Hint #3: According to available photos my target has had facial hair in the past or has facial hair currently.

    Hint #4(?)
    One of my all-time favorite television shows was filmed in part in the region my target resides in.
    While I have had a face hair at times, I'm not sure there are photos circulating with me wearing one. I suspect I'm out.

    Still in the running...

    I'm still in the running...

    There are a lot of shows filmed in my region...

    By the way, is Beerfinder (I think it was called that) still a going concern. While I'm not too worried about the hyper-local stuff I'll be sending to my target, some of the larger PNW breweries probably have beers that get distributed to their region, and it'd be nice not to send them any of those beers by mistake.

    Hint #5
    My target has rated/reviewed a lot of beers. More or less than I have? I'll not say just yet.

    Hint #6. You’ll need your French/English Dictionary for this one…



    And with that, I’ve given it away. Sure, you need to watch each of the links in their entirety, likely study the shows in detail, and do some metric conversions… But it is all there!

    According to my studies, keen eye for detail, and in depth mastery of the metric system, I believe you are shipping to ::drum roll::

    Kilogram. You're shipping to kilogram. Or maybe centimeter; I could have that wrong.

    I think I need to go back to the drawing board.

    Well, while it may not be documented via photos, as every participant this round is male, I suspect every possible target has had facial hair at one point, even if it's just a lazy weekend. :wink:
