F3 Scavenger Hunt

F3 Scavenger Hunt

26 Pax including a Briarcrest FNG came out to see what the Scavenger hunt was all about.  The wining team was Foundation, Rockwell, Brexit, and Old McDonald.  Apparently age and wisdom trumped young and fast at today’s hunt. (I cant figure out how to post pictures in the BB so I will post on GroupMe).  While some might say they mis-counted reps, I for one think they only cheated slightly more than the rest of the groups.  Good work today guys.

My attempt today was to give us a good workout, while adding some competition to it, and a little bit of trivia.  About halfway through I realized there was more running involved than I had planned for….or maybe that’s because my group chose the wrong answers and had to run more.  Win or lose today, I hope everyone had a good time and enjoyed the change of pace.  Thanks for Foundation to allow me to lead today.  His leadership last Monday with Ultimate Frisbee is what gave me the idea to try something new.

Also, welcome to our new FNG Dancing Bear.  Mark Shaffer is president of the Waxhaw Soccer league and has been involved in soccer his whole life.  Halfway through telling us all about soccer, I noticed he had a grateful dead teddy bear kicking a soccer ball….dancing bear it is!  I especially enjoy the hell that Beckham gives Dancing Bear on Facebook with regards to soccer.  I’ve finally found someone (Beckham) who hates soccer more than I do (sorry Dancing Bear).

The Scavenger hunt is posted below.

Rules

As soon as you are handed this paper the scavenger hunt begins.  Please read through the rules and then turn to page 2 to view your first clue titled Clue # 1.

Because it would be too difficult and time consuming to place clues at various spots around campus, all your clues are contained in this document.  While it would be pretty simple to cheat…..don’t.  Don’t look ahead for correct answers, play the game fairly.  Ultimately, we are here to get a good workout and cheating defeats that purpose.

Other teams will be traveling the same path as you along the way.  I suggest keeping your answers a secret so you don’t give away correct answers to other teams (or perhaps you can intentionally shout out wrong answers?).   There are questions to be answered along the way that if answered incorrectly, will take you on further or harder routes.  Just because you see a team in front of you going a different way, it doesn’t mean they are right.

Phones, especially google, are not allowed.

No matter where you are, when it gets to 6:10 please stop what you are doing and return to the starting parking lot.  I’m attempting to put together a scavenger hunt having no clue how long it will truly take.  I’ve made it longer than likely we can finish so the winning team will be the one who is at the furthest clue as of 6:10.

Because I developed the scavenger, I will not be allowed to answer or help any teams.  I will be traveling with a team but only to get a workout.  Because most people skim directions and don’t completely read them, I am putting in this extra sentence that negates the start below.  Look at the very last page for an easier start than the one on the next page.

START

Clue # 1

In order to start the scavenger hunt, your team must do a combined number of Merkins that equal the following riddle:

The number is 50 more than 100 times 5 minus 300.

Once you have completed the proper number of Merkins, please proceed to the place where Transporter prefers to squat.  Stop at each light pole for 20 Aussie burpees (no push up) per team (not each) on the way there.

Clue # 2 – Transporter’s Shed

Once you have made it to Transporter’s shed, please answer as a team this question.  The answer will direct you to an exercise and then your next location.

Which of the following movie character names is not a named Star in the night sky?

Beetle Juice – Do 10 each (on your own) Mike Tyson’s then Run to Baseball Field as a team.  Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.

Maximus – Do 20 each (one your own) Donkey Kick’s then Run to the wooden bench amphitheater as a team. Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.

Castor – Do 10 each arm (on your own) balls to the wall shoulder taps then Run to Softball Field as a team. Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.

Pollux – Do 30 wall sit air presses then Run to Football Field as a team. Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.

Clue # 3 – (Wooden benches).

If you are not at the wooden benches then you answered incorrectly.  Please proceed to the wooden benches at the Amphitheatre.

Answer for Clue # 2: Beetle Juice (spelled Betelgeuse) is part of the Orion’s belt constellation.  It is the Orange Star in the shoulder region.  Castor and Pollux are from the movie Gone in 60 seconds.  Both are the two brighter stars that make up the twins in the Gemini constellation.  Maximus is not a star and is from the movie Gladiator.

Exercises at wooden bench amphitheater area: 1974 and 1983 were good years in NC State sports (Two Basketball National Championships).  As a team do 83 dips on the wooden bench then bear crawl on the concrete to the picnic tables and do 74 step ups as a team.  Once you are finished, proceed to clue # 4.

Clue # 4

Find the parking spot in the football stadium parking lot that equals the following formula:

200-50*0+80+(100-70)

Don’t look at Clue # 5 until you are in the parking spot.

Clue # 5 – Parking spot # 250

PEMDAS – Parenthesis first, then multiplication, then left to right addition & subtraction.

If you are not in parking spot 250, in cadence (4 count) do 25 side straddle hops and then 15 mountain climbers in cadence.  Run to parking spot number 250 once done.

Once you are in parking spot # 250, do 40 LBC’s, 20 Heels to Heaven, 10 side crunches each side, and Protractor starting at 10 degrees, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and then 1.

Once you are finished, decide as a team if you want Door number 1, Door number 2, or Door number 3.  Once you have made your decision, move onto Clue # 6.  Choose wisely.

Clue # 6

Door Number 1: Partner Push towards the high school hill.  Try to allow everyone at least two partner pushes before you modify and run.  Go until you are gassed then switch out.  Again, two pushes per person.

Door Number 2: Partner Pull towards the high school hill.  Try to allow everyone at least two partner pulls before you modify and run.  Go until you are gassed then switch out.  Again, two pulls per person.

Door Number 3: Answer this riddle – name an object that you throw away when you need it and retrieve it when you don’t.  If you can’t answer the riddle you must each do a partner push and a partner pull towards the high school hill. (each pax will both partner push and partner pull at least 1 time).  The answer to the riddle can be found at clue # 7.  If you answer correctly, simply run to the hill at the high school.

Clue # 7 – High School Hill

Answer to door number 3 riddle: A boat anchor.

Once you are at the high school hill, choose one of the songs below and add the digits of the famous phone number together to get a total number.  For example, the phone number 123-4567 would equal 28.  Get it right, do 1 hill run.  Get it wrong or can’t come up with the phone number, do 5 hill runs each.

• Tommy Tutone – Jenny
• Wilson Pickett – (The phone number is the song tittle)

The answer can be found in Clue # 8.  Once you have done the hill runs, proceed to the front of the middle school.

Clue # 8 – Middle School Benches

Answer:

• Tommy Tutone – Jenny. 867-5309 = 38
• Wilson Pickett – (The phone number is the song tittle). 634-5789 = 42

At the front of the Middle School, do the following exercises on your own.

60 foot release squats on the bench, 40 dips, and 20 Derkins.

Once you are finished, answer this last question in order to proceed to the finish line:

Having participated in countless Name-O-Rama’s, you have heard Fuse Box give his age several times….but were you paying attention?  How old is Fuse Box?

Once you have an agreed upon answer from your team, turn to Clue # 9 to see if you are correct.

Clue # 9

Fuse Box is 34.  If you answered correctly, as a team Jail Break back to the finish line (starting parking lot) for your final clue.

If you answered incorrectly, do 34 merkins each.  If you finish early, start taking reps from your teammates to help them out.  Once your team finishes, jail break to the finish line for your final clue.

Clue # 10

How many triangles are in the picture below?  Answer correctly and you are done.  Answer incorrectly and as a team, you must run to the rock pile at the bottom of the hill at the third light, do 40 curl presses each and run back to finish line.

Clue # 10 Answer

There are 27 triangles.

Easier Clue # 1

If you have reached this page, congrats…you read the directions.  Instead of doing 250 merkins as a team, you only have to do 50 merkins as a team.  Once completed, head towards Transporters Shed stopping at the light poles on the way to do as a team, 20 aussie burpees (no push up).  That is a team count of 20 p
