    Target Hint
    If you are good at math this will be pretty easy for you

    If you use the Pythagorean theory,
    the number of beers you reviewed =A
    Your number of posts= B
    C will equal your zip code

    honest, I wouldn't just make that up

    Ha ha that reminds me. I am rather fond of recounting the story of both Baker’s and German’s chocolate, as most people assume that both are simply descriptors, when in actuality, they are both proper names.

    Just did the math, and not even close for me! But I enjoyed revisiting my triangle math for a few minutes. I am shocked the math actually works out for your target!

    Only time I have gotten confused was the one time I was right on the first guess. I’m usually good for 2 wrong guesses a BIF.

    Hint #4:
    If my internet stalking plus some assumptions are correct, this might make for an appropriate commute soundtrack

    If this is true, it would be the craziest shit ever.

    Incidentally, a terrific movie, and a really fantastic track.

    Been over 30 years, but is that A(squared)+B(squared)=C(Squared)?

    If so, sure as heck not mine.

    There's 35 total. By my spreadsheet there's four that I've missed any hints from.

    Using my super scientific formulations, I've got my list narrowed down to 17 TECHNICALLY possible (including the four mentioned above), but 6 likely, and I've been close to calling out one specifically for a while now.

    I don't believe there has been an official call out yet. Someone's gotta break the ice!!!

    Reggie Noble plus Steve Irwin are both pretty great, in my opinion as well. And yeah, the cribs episode with Redman is an all time classic. The 'dollar box' will never not be funny.
    Star Trek AND hip hop you say...

    Also... the tables are flipped in terms of deciphering code.. what's with the underlined and italic letters in your message, huh? Is it secret code?
    Or is it just the handicap of a Canadian keyboard......

    Yup. It’s definitely possible for this to be true for someone, but it would need to be someone with either:
    A) 10000+ posts and 1000+ reviews, with a zip that starts with a 1, or...
    B) less posts/reviews, and a zip starting with 0

    If your zip starts with anything other than 0 or 1, there’s no way this is true for you unless your name is @superspak .

    I'm in the same boat. I don't think I knew that about 'Baker's' though, but the German's tidbit is one I remember reading about many years ago in a cookbook (probably Joy of Cooking) and it just stuck with me ha

    Italic letters are one jumbled word, underlined are another. It's my guess for your target's state based on your clues. I just didn't want to say it "out loud" and risk ruining the surprise (or being wrong).

    I still have 18 possibles on my list, with no leading contenders. I feel like my list was whittled down way more by this point on the last BIF. Damn stingy hints we’re all giving. Myself included.

    Nice. That's what I was initially figuring, but then second guessed myself.

    Ok, another hint:

    Hint # 14 - Your want list, as of last check, is the same amount as mine.

    Previous Hints:

    Hint #1 - I've been to this BAs State only twice, and only because of an airport layover.
    BTW: I totally hate said airport, and try to avoid it.

    Hint #2 I've not had any beers from your state.

    Hint #3 You're not in a state that's getting hit by the crazy hurricane aunt Flo.

    Hint #4 The great comic Gilbert Gottfried did a skit on your state in one of his comedy albums.

    Hint #5 - I have reviewed more beers on here than you have.

    Hint #6 - You have reviewed at least one beer from my state of insanity... I mean Minnesota

    Hint # 7 - I am shipping a good distance East and just a bit south from my central MN home.

    Hint # 8 - You have more likes on this site, and have been here a lot longer than I have.

    Hint #9 - I mentioned that you might get some Wisconsin beer. Unless I screwed up, and missed it, your beer list doesn't include any Wisconsin Beer.

    Hint 10 - My target is older than I am.

    Hint #11 - Your state was one of the first 9 needed to ratify the US Constitution for it to go into effect. The convention in your state approved the Constitution unanimously.

    Hint #12 - Article 1 Section 2 of the Constitution, your State was given a number of Representatives in the House until a census could be conducted. Your state was supposed to "chuse" either 5, 4, or 3. One of those numbers is your State's number, the other two are for states other than your own.

    Hint #13 - There is more than 1 person from your state participating in this BIF.
