Scavenger Hunt
I intercepted a memo with an odd-looking shopping list attached. I'm
not sure I can get hold of all of them, but maybe if I fake a few of
them I can scape together enough to infiltrate the Secret Society.
This is an optional puzzle: you can use it in exchange for any one
puzzle. Bring at least 2n+3m of the following items
to Leonard Lounge,
where n is the number of campers on your team, and m is
the number of staff on your team. If we accept 2n+3m of
them, we'll tell you the answer to the puzzle of your choice.
Once solved, the puzzle may be redeemed at any time.
