How Many Liveblogs Can We Get Onto One Page!

How Many Liveblogs Can We Get Onto One Page! WRAP-UP! As a favor to everybody who worked on the puzzle remotely, Death from Above is doing a live webcast of the wrap-up events that happen today at Noon EST. Hope you can watch! http://dfa.mit.edu/stream/ ************************************************************************************* DONE. Hey guys, thanks a ton for helping. It was an intense push there towards the end. Im not sure if you could sense it from where you were, but it came right down to the wire. We were frantically solving puzzles as fast as we could and checking the blogs for answers from the prefrosh ether every 20 seconds. We tested almost every answer you guys suggested. Ill post answers to the puzzles you guys worked on and some to puzzles I wasnt able to show you. I hope you all had a good time, I know I did (even though Ive only gotten 3 hours of sleep since 9 AM on Friday (thats being awake 57 of the last 60 hours). For those of you who come here next year, you should definitely experience this hunt first hand, its a completely new kind of experience! Thanks again, more to come later! NEW PUZZLE! POUR ALL EFFORT INTO THIS: ************************************************************************************* Alien Species A little bird told us that the suspect was seen attending a sci-fi convention. Perhaps one of these other attendees knows something. Geez, what kind of elaborate get-ups are those? What Species Are These Star Trek Characters?! (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) ************************************************************************************* TIME TO HELP ON A PUZZLE!!! KEEP GOING! UPDATE: BENTO NATION and JAPAN were excellent guesses and we called both in. Unfortunately, both were wrong, and we are still working. KEEP GOING! Focus all of your efforts on Chimera. Youre officially our guerilla prefrosh army, show the other teams what youre made of! ********************************************************************************************************* Chimera Yee-haw! Time to round up those islands! We need as many ways to solve this thing as possible. Thanks! ********************************************************************************************************* Matt, Laura, and Bryan have all blogged about Mystery Hunt, I want to blog too! Im going on 42 hours with 1.5 hours of sleep, a lot of caffeine, and mind-splitting puzzles. Honestly, these are the most ridiculous things youve ever seen! Ill post some afterwards because were still competing, but theyre devious. The main reason for ANOTHER Mystery Hunt blog is this: Its all coming down to something, but what? Last night there was very little activity, but tonight there have been a ton of developments, communication with the coordinators, and a general feeling of getting kind of close. From what Ive heard from my secluded area off the infinite, a lot of teams have dropped out due to the sheer insanity of this hunt, and I dont blame them. My team (Death from Above) is still chugging along with help from alums, remote solvers, and dozens of current students. Its a battle, a hunt to find the mystery! Aditi, here are the pictures you asked for: Death From Above at the beginning of the Hunt Here we are pondering our massive, wall-covering puzzle. Its like a command center here. Im trying my hardest to force this puzzle into submission. My workstation as of now, rocking the dual monitors. More to come as I have time. . .
