“Item 176: Present an appropriate mom with a bumper sticker that says, “My Child is a Nobel Laureate.” I think you know what font it needs to be in. [20 points] “
Mrs. Myerson, mother of Nobel Prize winner and U of C professor Roger Myerson, holds a bumper sticker designed by Katharine Bierce of the Max Palevsky Scav Hunt team. Bierce said she modeled the font after the handwritten calligraphy on the actual Nobel Prize diploma.

Earlier this afternoon, I traveled with third-year John Laycock and first-year Jacob Friedman on a trip to purchase two 55-gallon drums from a Jiffy Lube at 12th Street and Western Avenue. What would motivate two U of C students to drive so far for two barrels? Two words: Scav Hunt.
Item 191: “Mon, I gotta say dat dose steel pan drums you made are sweet. Wat’s dat you say? You can play ‘Misirlou’ on dem? Excellent, mon. [30 points]“
Images of my trip are below and continue after the jump.
