Yes, me too. I've just has this from them:-

"Urgent note to all faculty members,

There is a pandemic of drop bears attacking people. Students are
warned to stay away from all gum trees for the time being while
investigators move in to determine the cause of this sudden outbreak.

Regards,
Central Administration."

How can we claw our way out of this mess? Only the toughest (leather
clad) minds can defend us from these 10 inch claws and 100 pounds of
furry fury. It sounds like another Puzzle Hunt is brewing!

You are cordially invited to enter the Melbourne University Puzzle
Hunt 2012, which is less than a month away. Entry is now open and
completely free. The entire Hunt (except for locating the final hidden
treasure) will take place online from the 23rd to the 27th of April.

For more information, go to http://puzzlehunt.mums.org.au

Regards,
Puzzle Hunt 2012 Team

Well, I'd like to be able to see what's going on, but as usual I will probably be of no use whatsoever. :lol: I also have a sh**load of work to do that week but I will do what I can.

I'll be around (well, at work), but I've been much busier there lately, so won't have much time to look - can those that do send me a message if there's any puzzles I can help with (logic/graph theory style).
