University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt Returns 91
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."

27. A Turing machine. Is it OK if it's just equivalent to one?
45. Sounds like fun. How much money?
51. Tumbleweed. Believe it or not, they actually do have these in Chicago.
72. Angel Falls, MN?
206. Find Waldo in the Loop. Now, are you supposed to abduct him and take him back to show you found him?
240. Carhenge. I'm sure the photos will look great, but I'm keeping my distance.
304. "The Anarchist's Cookbook, complete with the Anarchist's Crock-pot."
