Recovered Yet? Fall Mouse Adventure Date Released

I played MA! I wish to register a complaint! We worked pretty hard to secure a last-place finish and I don't want to wait until Friday for confirmation of our hard work!

Everything was barcoded so I hoped that would speed up the results. I guess they still have to write up a report...

And, got pwned

It sped up grading by a ton. It was amazing.

I gave the appropriate "ooooh" when it was mentioned at the morning orientation. I know the awesomeness of barcodes How many scanners did you guys purchase? I know the pricing on those has come down considerably in recent years, probably due to the rise of RFID.

Two, I think. It's not giving too much away to say that we graded every answer card twice, once on each of two separate computers and then diff'ed the results for accuracy.

I really want to know how the hidden quest worked. I'm assuming it had something to do with the precinct numbers, but other than that I don't know.

And what was with the "Hidden Tunnel in Fantasyland"?

The precinct numbers indicated the letter number that you took from the officer name. When the parts were then put in date order they spelled out the question.

That was a reference to the closed castle walkthrough I believe. It was supposed to provide a bit of a hint for the unscramble.

Can you be more specific about the letter number? If it said 1.4.5, for example, was that 3 letters? 1, 4, and 5?

I'm getting better at spotting the hidden quest origin, but I haven't seen enough of them to have any idea what to do with that knowledge. I think the Eye Spy MA is the only other one I knew anything about. I think they're pretty cool, but if you weren't with it from the beginning sometimes it's a little difficult (without some historical examples) to know what to do.
