Puzzle Hunt 2013

The 2013 Puzzle Hunt is now over! Team Ceteram censeo elephantēs esse dēlendōs collected Getafix's magic potion and saved the village from certain doom. For a more detailed rendition, read the epilogue.

The answer checker is still up and running but it is there purely to check your answers, and points will no longer be awarded. Puzzle solutions are available and the full log of guesses has been posted.

In any case, we would really like to hear your feedback on this year's Hunt. We are particularly interested in any suggestions for future Hunts. After all, the primary goal of this event is for it to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. Please feel free to provide feedback via our feedback form or email us to discuss anything puzzle or puzzle hunt related; we'd love to hear from you!

Last but not least, we'd also like to thank everyone involved in getting the Puzzle Hunt done this year. This Puzzle Hunt would not have been successful without them. A list of all these people has been put up on the Credits page.

What is MUMS?

The Melbourne University Mathematics and Statistics Society, also known as MUMS, was formed to represent maths and stats students at Melbourne University. We welcome anyone else with an interest in maths or stats. We organise a variety of activities, including seminars, trivia competitions, barbecues and of course the annual Puzzle Hunt and Maths Olympics. We also put out our magazine Paradox at regular intervals.

If you wish to be notified of our events by email, please subscribe to our mailing list.

MUMS has a room in the Richard Berry Building (the home of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics). It is located on the ground floor, opposite the main reception. This room is mainly used socially, and all are welcome to stop by. The MUMS noticeboard is directly outside the room, and lists our upcoming events and seminars.

MUMS is affiliated to the University of Melbourne Student Union. Support from UMSU and from the Department is gratefully acknowledged.
