Tom and Eli both perform the same action in preparation for the same activity. This action proves to help Tom, but has a negative effect for Eli. What's going on? Despite the title and the names of the protagonists, the Super Bowl is completely irrelevant. | ||

Do Tom and Eli know each other? Are they at least aware of each other? Did something go wrong because of an error in the preparation and Eli was blamed? Whereas Tom fixed it? Did they both prepare something for the very same activity? Did the activity invole other people besides Tom and Eli? If so, were it <=5? <=50? <=100? <=1000? <=10000? >10000? Was it related to a hobby of theirs? To a public event? A concert? A sports event? Amusement partk / fair relevant? (Summer) camp relevant? Trekking relevant? Animals relevant? Cars relevant? | ||

Does Eli test-fire his laser gun? Thus giving away his location? And Tom shoots him and wins? Are they on the same team? Opposite teams? If opposite teams, can we call Eli's team the Giants and Tom's team the Patriots? Did the Giants win? Because of Eli's action? Because of Tom's? Anyone else relevant? If so, just make up names of Giants and Patriots for their respective teams. And if they're on the same team, use both. | ||

Did one of them wear darker colour clothing? Yes And the other one wear lighter/brighter colors? And yes. I don't need to answer Gregory's questions, as Haenlomal has cracked it open. **********SPOILER********** Tom & Eli were going to play laser tag one day, and for luck, both of them wore their lucky shoes. However, Eli's shoes were bright white, and so they could be seen under the blacklights of the laser tag arena. This caused him to be seen and shot a lot. Tom's shoes, though, were dark, and so he remained more inconspicuous. Nice work everyone, especially Haenlomal for the big crack. New puzzle soon, I hope. | ||
