Winner takes it all \m/
Ok, so maybe me and the guys missed out on winning Segreta by a whisker 3 weeks ago! That was depressing to the core...
But since then, we pulled up our socks! And we decided to go in for the kill, sleep be damned :p
Since Wednesday night, when SJMSOM IIT Bombay's Qwest (the 2010 version of last year's Rolling Stones: The Treasure Hunt, which we had conquered) started, Chinmaya and I drove ourselves mad while cracking tough puzzles, figuring out crazy questions, gaping in awe when seemingly absurd patterns struck a chord, crossing fingers while entering probable answers and praying for the next level to show up, and in utter desperation resorting to hit-and-trial :p
Oh yes! Two days of awesome fun!
Kudos to the Qwest team for coming up with a bigger, better and tougher t-hunt!

And today morning, it all paid off... just like a question in one of the levels hinted, it was a photofinish :D
The Leaderboard speaks for itself: http://www.som.iitb.ac.in/qwest/leaderboard.php
Champion of Qwest, second year running B)
Wowiee! An awesome return gift for Dad's birthday ;)
And I love seeing IMT Ghaziabad's name right at the top of the chart!
Awesome work, Chinmaya! Like we've been telling each other, we did eventually win!
We guys make up an awesome T-hunt team \m/
I beg your pardon for stating that my Googling skills have taken a dip... they haven't.
Time to move on!
Next up: NITIE's Maddiction!!
Waiting with bated breath for IIM Indore's Klueless too!
Cheers!

Online Treasure Hunts!
I feel like I'm on a highhhh highhhh!
Spent the entire day today on an online T-hunt... been at it since 3 days!
Crazy puzzles with maddening answers! Feels good to be back... to hell with the feeling of being brain-dead!!
And now I'm at the pinnacle, with no one in sight... damn those spurts of ingenuity :p
My team won the Rolling Stones t-hunt organized by IIT Bombay last year... let's win their Segreta event this year, guys ;)
Rock on!!!
