MUMS Puzzle Hunt Chronology

The MUMS Puzzle Hunt 2015 was the 12th 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 the Star Wars franchise, and fittingly started on May 4th (Star Wars Day, because "May the 4th ("force") be with you"). Three teams scored the maximum of 100 points (solving all 20 feeder puzzles within a day of release). Return of the Plugh had the lowest average solve time of 5.15 hours. The onsite meta puzzle was jointly won by A New Plugh and The Judean GNUs, who together found the X-Wing fighter on the 9th of May, 2015 at around 2:50pm.
