3rd UMIC Treasure Hunt

16 November 2008 (Sunday) - Second hunt of the month. My first with the COC - Purple Antz. Team members - WK, Angie and my cousin Jess. Hunting with Jess for the first time.

My turn to drive. The hunt was a disastrous. I don't have our 'official' score yet, but it is definetely one of our worst performance. Out of 28 (or 29) teams, we were not even placed among the top 17. Most of the questions looked foreign to us. We were simply blanked out. We really felt that the questions were either wrongly set or we were directed to the wrong sectors. However, when the answers were revealed, it really make sense. And I believe that are much to be learnt from this hunt. After submitting the answers, most agree that this will be our last hunt with the Antz, but after the answer presentation, I did have a change of mind. I might just be registering (and dragging my kakis along) for their next hunt in December - MIYC, a day before the last Grand Slam of the year, the Mensa Hunt.
