The World's Largest Scavenger Hunt Returns

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-haven't-found-what-i'm-looking-for dept.

mresolver writes "University of Chicago students have once again emerged from the library after a long winter to participate in the world's largest scavenger hunt. The multiple day event is famous for the working breeder reactor that students managed to build during the 1999 hunt. This year, the official list (PDF) includes a superconductor, working wood refrigerator, hot air balloon made to Montgolfier specifications, one-way funhouse mirror, and a walk-in Kaleidoscope."

    of course the http://www.geocaching.com/ concept is smallfry, but no, a school in USA has the biggest right ?

    this is like the "World Series" where the winners are "World Baseball Champions" when only teams from USA play, most American kids dont even know what the world is.
