Wrap-up

And that's a wrap for Leo Puzzle Hunt! Thank you to each of the 20 Leo teams which took some time out of their schedules to participate in the hunt. All in all, 8 teams finished the hunt—7 of them on Monday night itself—and 15 teams solved at least one puzzle.

The aim of Leo Puzzle Hunt was to provide a fun sample of puzzles, and hopefully pique some interest in puzzles among Leo residents. Judging by the 3 lounges full of people solving puzzles on Monday night, I think it might be safe to say that the hunt achieved its goal! :)

Stats

Teams

• Leo teams: 20
• Non-Leo teams: 1
• Best accuracy: Ace Team and Black and White Clowns (7/7 correct guesses)
• Longest team name: Why solo sign up also need team name one? Feels very weird, Also, can I use these sentences as the team name? There does not seem to be a character limit anyway. I sure hope I don't have any typo here! Since a idiot like me probably won't appear on the leaderboard anyway so I guess this should be fine? Last but not least thanks for organising this event!
