	MIT Mystery Hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The MIT Mystery Hunt is a puzzlehunt competition held each January at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		In 2006, the hunt organizers introduced the concept of an "antepuzzle" as a different mechanism for controlling access to new rounds; in these, the answer is derived from pieces of information attached to the round puzzles, but otherwise irrelevant to them (for example, the colors in which the puzzle titles were printed).
		The 2000 hunt included the first Duck Konundrum [1], a complicated and ridiculous set of rules involving a group of people (and a duck) that had to be followed to discover the solution.

		I don't even much remember what I did except for hang around the library for four hours for work (I punted writing my lab's paper outrageously, which is why I'm paying for it now, I suppose), and go to a long housemeeting, and then play a couple of games of Smashies Melee.

		So nice when you get to end game and run around the campus trying to find "the coin." Mystery Hunt is just plain awesome, and I really wish I could share it with my friends who aren't here.

		Over IAP I worked at Effective Educational Technologies (EET), or as I tell MIT people, the place that makes Mastering Physics.
		I also participated in Mystery Hunt, which is an event that happens every IAP where teams basically work together to solve incredibly difficult puzzles in order to find a coin and win.
		I was slightly disappointed though because usually the hunt lasts for about 3 days, but this year the winning team found the coin in 36 hours.
