I'm left wondering about the point of the "note" about this year's hunt
on the MIT Hunt homepage. If you haven't seen it, it says:
Note: For various reasons that can not be revealed at this time, every
team in this year's Hunt needs to have at least one member on campus.
Most puzzles will be available remotely, but certain key elements of
the Hunt will not be posted on the Internet.
Well ... how is that different than any other year? There are always
runarounds, always scavenger hunts, always things you have to construct
and take to HQ. There are always group events that need to be attended
(game shows, mixers, etc.). Heck, you can't even retrieve the coin if
you don't have a member on campus.
So I'm wondering why they posted this at all, since no team can ever do
well without having some of its members on campus. Is there something
that we should be inferring from it?
