Mathcamp 2005 Puzzle Hunt

Welcome to the Mathcamp 2005 puzzle hunt wrap up! We're very sorry and very very embarrassed that the hunt was so much harder than we expected it to be: it was supposed to finished by dinnertime, not dinnertime four days later.

And there's another problem -- we're so exhausted that we've forgotten who won the hunt. I'm mortified to say, we've even forgotten how all the puzzles work. Do any of you remember anything about the hunt? No, I see you've all forgotten too. Well, we'd better figure it out.

Luckily we do still have the puzzles from the hunt, and we also have a set of photographs that we believe were taken by the winning team. Hopefully they will make things easier the second time through.
