Note: There's another section called the Puzzler (worth 10 points). First, let me figure out how to copy and paste the matrix here. D'uh...
All the other teams are either master-hunters or soon to be master-hunters or should have been a master hunter, and there was our team - blank, blur faces and all. It was a tough hunt in our team's humble opinion, but at least we finished at a respectable 10th place. :)
See you next hunt!
