"MYSTERY HUNT!"

It's going great!!!

More pictures and quotes and all the good stuff coming soon.

I'll let you know that part of today's challenge involved me eating an entire box of cookies and a bag of sun chips.

Needless to say, I'm never eating either of those again.

If you want to join in and remote solve with us, let me know! The more the merrier!!!

Absolutely! I'd definitely like to try to solve a few of the problems!

Matt posted some problems on his blog before, so we have a little bit of experience. :-)

Oh, and at some point, please elaborate on the cookies and sun chips problem. I'm curious as to what sort of problem would require you to do that!

Anyway, good luck with the hunt! I'm surely going to do it if I'm accepted! Such an awesome activity...
