You will find in this post links to the Official Website of the University of Chicago 2004 Scavenger Hunt, Articles on the Hunt, blogs maintained by judges and participants, and a few other relevant links.

I have also included a few thoughts I’ve had at the end of the Hunt this year.

Well, it’s over. As predicted, I didn’t have enough time to blog the whole event as it happened. Others have been more successful at keeping up, but I’ve gone into somewhat more detail.

Again, I have to hurry it along (I’m at work, lunch break) but I’ll pick up where I left off.

I’d hoped to blog yesterday.

But I became too busy running events (it happens) and didn’t get a chance to.

Now the problem has compounded… I have thirty minutes approximately in which to tell you as much as I can.

I’ve decided that I might as well blog this hunt, as well as I can. I think it would be fun to give the judge’s perspective on the whole thing.

If you are interested in a team’s perspective, check out Colin’s account.

The Hunt, 2004, that is.

First things first: if you can’t be in Chicago to check this out, here’s the link to the list. Click on “2004 list.” It will open as a .pdf.

Right now I’m sitting here with former head judge MK while he uploads the list.

1. I’m note inspired.

2. I have a site counter and I have a question: where on earth did the 40 of you come from today?! I can only assume the spike has something to do with scav hunt. After all, 40 people wouldn’t trudge over here to answer my little riddles or make lists.

We’ll start easy.

“The beginning of eternity

The end of time and space

The beginning of every end,

And the end of every place.”

Post a comment if you know the answer.
