One for the Noobs: Hints and Hauls

Awesome. Thanks guys.

 

Going shopping tomorrow to see what goodies I can pick up to add to the box and hopefully get the box out next Monday. I like to ship out on Mondays.

 

Which springhouse growler should I send?

 

I caught an annual festival a few times back in the early 2000's near my target's area whose line up has included The Disco Biscuits, RAQ, Particle, and Galactic amongst others.

I was planning on shipping this week, but going to do a little more shopping to get some more goodies that he doesn't know that he wants yet. Will be violating targets front porch by next weekend.

 

If my target and I both went outside at this exact minute it would be 27 degrees warmer at their house.

 

Checked the tracking of package today and it's still on schedule for delivery tomorrow. In the meantime, here's some Tuesday morning fun. I'm gonna give you the the whole tracking number. The only problem is, some of the numbers you'll have to figure out yourself. So, let's have some fun!

Here's the tracking number in its entirety: 045a98715bcdefg

The numbers that I've left in there are actually part of the code so leave them be. The clues for the letters are below. If you figure it out and you're not the target, please don't post. Just send me your answer (the whole number, not just individual numbers for each clue) in a BM and I'll respond.

Without further ado:

a: Subtract 50 from 40. Take 10 from 9. Remove 9 from 6. Reverse the order of your answer and you'll have this number.

b: 3rd Number in Longitude of my favorite NFL teams' stadium (Hint: My favorite NFL team is on the east coast).

c: XIVIXXIVV

d: 6th Number in Latitude of my favorite NFL teams' stadium.

e: If 1+4+3=534
And 2+6+4=12814
Then 1+2+3 = X.
Find X. Sum the total of the numbers in X to find this number.

f: Number of Posts I had before posting in this thread.

g: Number of tours I did in Iraq as an infantryman in the USMC.

Remember, the answer to each letter represents the number in the tracking code. Once you have the full thing, you can plug it into Fedex to find the destination.

Enjoy!

 

well fucking done on the hard as shit hints...

 

I got "f"
And I found X (it's right after the=)

 

someone tell me if it's me

 

Shits making me dizzy....

 

I get the sneaky suspicion I may be one of the most hated BIF hinters on BA.

Well, to make up for it, tomorrow I will make the hint very easy. I don't want the box sitting around for too long.

 

I don't hate you, only how stupid your clues make me feel.
You WILL be posting the answers after you box is delivered, right?
I'd like to know if I was at least in the ballpark on some.

 

Yeah, I'll post the answers. Maybe that's how I'l start off the clues tomorrow. I'll just post the answers to each hint throughout the day until the package is delivered.

 

To save sometime, ill just drive home from work every couple hours to check my porch........

 

Some sports pro's go at half speed in my targets area. BTW All please do a porch check on Thurs. 2/7
Weather window was good so box is shipped.

 

Trying to land a couple BA score 100's for my box, looks like I'll be shipping next week.

 

Since this is NOOB BIF, I am gonna ask a Noob question. How do doubles play in BIFs. I am talking about sending doubles or triples of the same beer. Not really sought after beer but great local beers. I ask cause I tend to send a few double of IPAs or stouts in there and no one has said anything but I notice I was the only one. So is it Ok or is better to just send 1 bottle of each.

 

As it seems my package is due to arrive tomorrow before 3pm, I figured I start off this evening by giving the answers to my first two hints which were relatively easy.

Hint #1 - My timezone is EST.
Hint #2 - It was my hint written in binary code (although I messed it up the first time around). When you decode it (the correct one), it translates into "My target's state has a football team near it."

I'll start of everyone's Wednesday morning with some answers to the other hints.

 

Oh damn! I never thought of this. I sent two bottles each of two of my targets wants. Since they were just 12ozs, I figured he may want an extra bottle because they're pretty good and you can't have just one.

 

no idea... for me, one of my target's wants i feel is best after a year. i'm sending one to drink fresh, and one to lay down for a year. they're 12ozers. another pair is being sent due to one being a vintage and a fresher 12oz, with a new recipe.

however, i'm not including the duplicates in my oz total.

if i'm your target, bring it on
