Nirvanaman said it all! Except: [smacking forehead] stupid, stupid, stupid! I cannot believe I transposed the friggin numbers!! All the answers were right, just in the wrong boxes. We were one of the few teams to actually find the clock times, and it didn't matter. We were so rushed, we had like 10 seconds to turn it in or be DQd at 4:00. The boys were pushing for the "Finish Line" envelope and I was convinced we could finish! The 60 minute penalty put us exactly 59 minutes after first place. We would have won by one minuite! One minute! Sorry guys! You were an awesome team!

My main complaint with this format is too many puzzles and all at separate times. Four people had to be doing the same puzzle or just sit around feeling useless. You try to find a way to help, but end up distracting the solver and wasting more time! Working all together means a plethera of hands and arms blocking the portion of the page you are trying to decode so they can fill in the answer they've solved. Not so efficient. I like when you get many quests together so you can divide and conquer. Then, check each other's work. You turn it all in and hope you got 'em right!

I didn't like any of the prizes anyhow!
