[quote=Anonymous]Besides the essays, my son liked some of the scavenger hunt items. Here are some from the [url=http://scavhunt.uchicago.edu/list2014final.pdf]2014 list[/url]:

-A team member with self-animated face paint that depicts a moving face. But not that team member’s
face. [11 points]
-Reanimate a dead invertebrate using nothing more than edible, common kitchen ingredients. [6 points]
-It’s not about the money; we just find zeroes deeply and inexplicably appealing. Bring us the highest
denomination banknote you can find in whatever currency you want. [4 points per zero in excess of
three]
-A team member who was born in a country that no longer exists, with documentation. [10 points]
-The Library of Congress classification system has been criticized time and time again for not being sufficiently
 onomatopoeic. Prove the haters wrong: find a book from one of the University of Chicago
libraries whose call number, including at least one digit, abstractly reflects its content. [9 points]
-Is that a man behind the curtain or are you just [ERROR: EMOTION #56754 NOT FOUND] to see
me? Fail the Turing Test. [10 points] (He thought this one was hilarious)

All of the questions are like that, if you have time you should really read through them all  :D

Anyways, is it still like that or is the scavenger hunt list just a remnant of quirkier times?

And thanks for the replies and discussions everyone! He will definitely applying and we will definitely be visiting pretty soon. Honestly I like the university more than when I made this thread. [/quote]
