TLDR (Posse taught me that). Gerber’s team won. Gerber, Speed Bump, Orkin, FNG Hot Print, and C3PO beat Wrigley, Double Dribble, T1000, Drive by, and myself.
I enjoy the night time Q’s. Mainly because it allows the Q to spread their wings and think outside of the box. The 2.0’s add another mix that tends to make to Q’s fun. With that in mind I decided to dust off a Q from about 2 years ago. I changed up some of the clues to give a wide age range from Elementary level questions to some more advanced questions. As Gerber put it, if you enjoy the Facebook trivia questions, you would have loved this Q. So here was the Scavenger hunt. Try and run though it and see if you were able to get some of the questions correct.
F3 Scavenger Hunt
After teaming up, start with a mosey around the parking lot. Keeping your head on a swivel to avoid cars look for the booklet of clues. Once your team completes a lap, go grab the booklet of clues and start……no one saw them. After what felt like minutes I started giving hot and cold clues until finally Drive By picked off a set on a beautiful ANSI green transformer. From here on out is the booklet as written:
Rules
As soon as you are handed this paper the scavenger hunt begins. Please keep an eye on time. No matter where you are on campus or where you are at in this Scavenger Hunt, at 6:10 please start heading back to COT.
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’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.

Clue # 1
In order to start the scavenger hunt, your team must do a combined number of Merkins that equal the following riddle. Split the merkins how ever is best for the team.
John does 10 merkins a day. Sam does 5 merkins a day. Dave does 100 merkins a week. Sam and Dave only work out 6 days a week. How many Merkins do the three guys do combined in a week?
Once you have completed the proper number of Merkins, please proceed to the place where Rudy prefers to squat. Stop at each light pole for 2 Burpees per light pole per person on the way there.
DO NOT TURN THE PAGE UNTIL YOU ARRIVE WHERE RUDY LIKES TO SQUAT.
ANSWER TO CLUE # 1
If your team started off splitting 200 Merkins. Congrats you were correct. If your team was smart enough to read the entire first page of directions and you skipped to the last page for an easier clue and only did 10 Merkins – Great Job! If you did neither, please to a 10 burpee penalty each before moving on to Clue # 2.
Clue # 2 – Rudy’s Poop Palace
Please answer as a team the question below. The answer will direct you to do an exercise and then take you to your next location.
Which of the following movie character names is not a named Star in the night sky?
Beetle Juice (Movie: Beetle Juice) – Do 10 each (on your own) Mike Tyson’s then Run to Baseball Field as a team (Lower Round A Bout). Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.
Maximus (Movie: Gladiator) – 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 (Movie: Gone in 60 Seconds) – Do 10 each arm (on your own) balls to the wall shoulder taps then Run to the High School Stairs. Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.
Pollux (Movie: Gone in 60 Seconds) – Do 30 wall sit air presses then Run to Football Field Fence where the Cavalier mascot is in the fence. Read clue # 3 only after your team arrives.
ANSWER:
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.
If you are not at the wooden benches then you answered incorrectly. Please proceed to the wooden benches at the Amphitheatre. (Your penalty is the extra run).
Clue # 3 – (Wooden benches).
David Thompson is widely considered the greatest collegiate basketball player of all time. Do a combined number of team dips on the wooden benches for the year his NC State basketball team won the National Championship (If you think they won it in 1933 then do 33 dips). Once you are finished doing dips, turn the page for the answer and penalty if you were wrong.
David Thompson won the National Championship in 1974. Close but no cigar award if you chose 83 (That was Jimmy V’s Championship). If you did not do 74 dips, your penalty is to bear crawl around the triangle in front of the wooden benches (All three sides). If you were correct (or once you finish your bear crawls), 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 turn the page until you are in the parking spot.

PEMDAS – Parenthesis first, then multiplication, then left to right addition & subtraction.
If you are not in parking spot 250, then perform in cadence (4 count) 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 50 LBC’s & 20 Heels to Heaven each.

Add the digits of the famous phone number in the song below together to get a total number. For example, the phone number 123-4567 would equal 28 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8). Once you think you have the correct answer, each person does that many overhead rock presses. Check the next page for the answer only after you have completed your overhead presses.

If you did not do 38 presses, you must do an additional 38 presses as a penalty.

If you answered incorrectly, do 200 Squats as a team. If you finish early, start taking reps from your teammates to help them out. Once your team finishes, jail break to the finish line (COT) for your final clue.
Final Clue
How many triangles are in the picture below? Answer correctly and you are done. Answer incorrectly and face the penalty on the next page. Check the next page for the answer.
Answer
There are 27 triangles. If you answered correct – Congrats! You are finished. If you answered wrong, run to the closest rock pile (down the yellow brick road and down the hill around the third light) for 27 curl presses. Once complete, return the rocks and run back to COT.
Easier Clue # 1
If you have reached this page, congrats…you read the directions. Instead of doing 200 merkins as a team (which is what everyone else is doing that didn’t read all of page 1), you only have to do 10 merkins each. Once completed, head towards Rudy’s Poop Palace stopping at the light poles on the way to do two burpees at each light pole. Once at Rudy’s, start with Clue # 2.
