Normalville

Normalville Congratulations to the Random Hall dormitory team (Physical Plant) for winning this years Mystery Hunt! I really enjoyed the hunt, and our team did better than we ever had before (yay!). Here are some puzzles you might enjoy doing at lunch tomorrow with your friends: D3: The Fellowship Of The Duck Cookie Monster Dogs Playing Poker An Ax to Grind The Hunt kicks off in MITs Lobby 7 at 12 noon, the Friday before Martin Luther King Day, every IAP. A bit before noon, a large crowd began to gather This year, we gathered not only for a kickoff speech (announcing the theme: Normalville), but also for a giant kickoff puzzle! Construction paper meteorites rained down from above, containing a message Back at team Lost in Space Waffle headquarters, we came together to start solving the puzzles We had a wall full of unsolved puzzles to work through. Of course, we also solved many puzzles (my quickest solve: Take Me Out). Our map of Normalville kept the team up-to-date on our progress. You might be wondering, what does Random Hall, the winning team, receive for their victory? The honor and privilege of writing Mystery Hunt 2006. I hope to see you there! Coming in the next few days: a post about public vs. private high schools, a response to Daniels latest post, and answering some of your questions.
