    Pretty sure I'd kept you in until this hint. It's like I have some sort of stratamagery. :wink:

    Just need them to score a 50 burger!
    Are you calling me out?? Why do you think you are my target?

    Yes, I'm calling you out!

    Why? Because, my early morning after a long, late night of drinking fuzzy brain tells me your last clue finally excluded the only other person besides me that I hadn't already crossed of the "possible @FBarber target" list. It's the fishiness that gives it away.

    I'm by an ocean, have reviewed more beers than you, I know there are bearded pictures of me (and you've seen my bearded face in Zoom), 9 is a Motzkin number, username has only letters, I gave PBR pretty good scores and commentary in my review, there are two s's in my username, I reviewed beers from almost every state and that probably includes all the ones of interest (and it's more than you), I've never reviewed a Dovetail beer, and finally, to rule out the last contender, my state fish is the rainbow trout.

    IT MUST BE ME

    Hint #37Y - I believe my target has a "c" in state name, street name, BA name, recipient name - something like that.

    I don't remember exactly...need a beer to clear the cobwebs from the brain pan...:sunglasses:

    Dutifully providing another hint...
    More hints about hints...only one of the numbers is meaningful in each clue.

    Your deductions were impressive though, Snaotheus Holmes

    With that population related remark, I am out. Spokane is a little beyond double 100,000

    ...ain't me...COL in CO isn't for the financially challenged...the water bill alone is devastating...

    I’m pretty sure the more hints you give, the harder it becomes to figure out!

    I won't say yes and I won't say no.

    I will say that there are 1 , maybe 2, more points in the polygon that will define the targets landing zone. Those will be released soon.

    The other clues...well, my mind would be blown if you could answer that riddle, wrapped in a mystery , inside an enigma ( thanks Winston, still true today). I need to drop more clues in order for the target to answer those clues ....just not yet

    Minds have been blown, brackets have been busted before in this and other Bif's.....

    ...well, I have a line on you (so far), although I believe I'm too far west for you to be the dude...but those dang polygons sure are some weird lookin' mofos at times...:sunglasses:

    ...if I recall, they started releasing bottles about two years ago...still a rare thing to find, but some lucky BAs have benefited from this lately...I ain't one of them, but I can always dream (and salivate)...

    ...you hit some interesting and, I think, valid points - i.e., being the only one to review a beer (rDev 0.0%) as well as reviewing to the style and not personal preference (aka your @superspak example)...lots of talk on BA about reviews and scores and what they mean, but, hey, there's always that unique human element that factors into the hard math that just doesn't mesh with someone else's idea of what the data should represent.

    Sure, the data and math don't lie, but then, those figures are only a subset of what any one individual's entire world is all about. In other words, the data description is likely close but no cigar (or is that beer?)...
