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."

    ...because Scavhunt often has extensive typographic needs. Consider the 2006 list--upside-down text, non-roman scripts, fractions and greek letters aplenty. TeX is clearly the tool of choice.
