2024 MIT Mystery Hunt
I am not as excited about the MIT Mystery Hunt as I used to be. So, for this year’s hunt, I didn’t go through all the puzzles but present here only the puzzles that were recommended to me. I start with math, logic, and CS.
- Scan, a bunch of numbers. The puzzle requires some programming.
- Flamingo, several grids that look like Nikoli puzzles.
- Jigsaw Slitherlink.
- Under Pressure, evaluating equations.
Then we have some word puzzles.
- Deposit at the Word Bank.
- Body Language, a crossword.
- Fren Amis, a crossword in many languages.
- Look Before You Leap, a crossword with seemingly meaningless clues.
Now, the rest.
- Queen Marchesa to g4 starts with a Magic-the-Gathering card showing a chess piece: white queen.
- New Rules, weird sentences about games.
- Itineratum de Urbes Universum, looks like Latin.
- Retro Chess Puzzle.
