MUMS Puzzle Hunt Chronology | |
The MUMS Puzzle Hunt 2016 was the 13th iteration of the MUMS Puzzle Hunt, run by the Melbourne University Maths Society. It follows the Australian hunt format, with five puzzles were released each day for five days, with the metapuzzle also released on the fifth day. The theme of the hunt involved time travel. Four teams scored the maximum of 125 points (solving all 25 feeder puzzles within a day of release). Bill & Ted's Plughulous Adventure had the lowest average solve time of 4.17 hours, barely beating out ⌊π⌋ by a margin of 11 seconds average solve time (or a total solve time of 275 seconds). Cat Fedora Group was the first team to physically find the meta piece buried in the campus of the University of Melbourne.
