Puzzlehunt

We've now written up an overview of the puzzlehunt, including puzzles and solution notes.

So it's that time of year again. Exams are over (or nearly over), and we find ourselves at a loss for sources of intellectual exercise. Therefore, CUCaTS will be holding a Puzzlehunt this Friday.

Wait, what on earth is a Puzzlehunt, anyway? Well, to shamelessly quote Wikipedia, "A puzzlehunt is a puzzle game where teams compete to solve a series of puzzles at a particular site, in multiple sites and/or via the internet. Groups of puzzles in a puzzle hunt are often connected by a metapuzzle, leading to answers which combine into a final set of solutions.". So there.

The hunt will commence shortly after the end of the garden party, provisionally starting at 5pm, and will last for 24 hours. The location will be provided closer to the time. The hunt is free to enter, and food will be provided. We would appreciate it if potential teams would sign here to show their interest. You can still sign up if you don't have a team, and we will try to find you people to compete with.

We expect to meet at Great St. Mary's at 4:30pm. Those who are attending both our Garden Party and the Puzzlehunt are likely to walk from the former to the latter in a group.
