<p>Lol some of the items are hilarious. Here are some from this year’s scav:</p>
<p>-Reanimate a dead invertebrate using nothing more than edible, common kitchen ingredients. [6 points]
-Get an animal at the zoo to wave at you. [14 points]
-Definitively settle the question of photon or wave in the style of Ian Burns by projecting your answer
onto a wall using lightbulbs and magnifying glasses. [50 points]
-At any event, a Captain or team member must be able to produce a squid within five minutes of being
asked by a Judge, “Are you a squidnapper?” [18 points]
-Bikerowave! It’s a microwave (or other non-open-flame heating source) powered by a bike, such that
as you pedal, you heat up a Hot Pocket®! This item must be powered by a person wearing a bling
necklace that says “Hott Cheese”. Also, you have to eat the Hot Pocket®. [23 points]
-Tumbleweave! It’s either a weave made out of tumbleweeds, or a tumbleweed made out of weaves. We
can’t decide, nor should we have to! [2 points]</p>
<p>@alleycat2 My interviewer was head judge of scav hunt for two years!! I couldn’t help but fangirl like crazy. Scav just seems really indicative of what Uchicago is about–I would so much rather be knitting Bill Cosby’s face on a sweater than going to a frat party.</p>
<p>@kathoderberg Haha that’s awesome. My interviewer was so funny. I asked him what he thought about the saying that UChicago is “where fun goes to die”, and he said something along the lines of - “It was fun for me. I went to gay bars all the time.”</p>
<p>@kathoderberg Same… in the long run of course we’ll all be okay and we’ll all go somewhere that works out for us! But the day I’m deferred or rejected will be an extremely sad day. </p>
<p>@kathoderberg They should make a new house at UChicago just for CCers lol. But anyways, I think I have mentally prepared myself for the decision. Though I say that now and I’ll probably be a mess on the actual day</p>
<p>I’m so scared for the decisions. My dad went there for undergrad and my grandfather went for his graduate degree. I’m pretty qualified but do you think legacy will help me?</p>
<p>Last night I was looking at all of the houses and residents buildings and it was making me so excited. The atmosphere of the houses all seems to be so welcoming and fun. I really hope I don’t get deferred. It’s my first choice school</p>
<p>I’m as excited as any of you, but I just want to point out how almost… comical(?) it is that were not even waiting for the announcment date, but the announcement date of the announcement date. </p>
<p>@ogacihcu The snow is positively magical, especially under an intersection at night. Then it turns to slush and gets gross, but so long as you’ve got good boots slush is fun too </p>
