The 2006 Mathcamp Puzzle Hunt

The Setup

It's my pleasure to introduce our speaker for colloquium today, Ms. Condylarth S. Puzzle. Ms. Puzzle is a true polymath, with papers published in virtually every field from mathematics to political science, to physics, chemistry, computer graphics, and much more. She holds docotoral degrees from a dozen universities and maintains professorships at four universities, simultaneously. It is a great pleasure now to bring on... Ms. Condylarth S. Puzzle!

Ahem. Ms. Condylarth S. Puzzle!

Condy?

Condylarth S. Puzzle is dead!

All we have left of her amazing work is this Puzzle Hunt she seems to have been writing. This is her last great work, our last memory of her. Unfortunately, the Hunt is only half-finished; we only have the first round. But in her honor, we should do our best to solve what we have. Oh, and, keep your eyes out for any clues about the murderer, if you please...

Round 1
