University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt Returns

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-find-what-you-don't-look-for dept.

mresolver writes "We've discussed it in previous years, and now the world's largest scavenger hunt at the University of Chicago has returned. The event may be best known for the working breeder reactor students built for the 1999 hunt. This year, some of the 330 list items (PDF) include 3-D (and 4-D) Twister, a hand-built Theremin, a recreation of the Moon landing, the world's largest Newton's Cradle, and hyperbolic crocheting."

    The first item on the list is the list itself.

    You don't want them to make it too easy to get, do you?

    As the PDF was downloading I was saying to myself 'Please be LaTeX, please be LaTeX'.
    For some reason the fact that they did restores my faith in humanity.
