The MUMS Puzzle Hunt 2014 was the 11th iteration of the MUMS Puzzle Hunt, run by the Melbourne University Maths Society. It follows the Australian hunt format, with four puzzles were released each day for five days, with the metapuzzle also released on the fifth day. The theme of the hunt was alchemy. Four teams scored the maximum of 100 points (solving all 20 feeder puzzles within a day of release). The Elite had the lowest average solve time of 2.42 hours. The onsite meta puzzle was won by Wild Goldfish: Lumber Support, who found the Philosopher's Stone.
