I've never been a fan of password hints, but I'll admit it had never occurred to me that they could be used this way. This is yet another reason to use an algorithm like bcrypt that will generate different hashes for the same password.
I'm also amazed people put such obvious password hints, and some even had their exact password as the hint.
