Freshman Year Pop Quiz

During Freshman Year, teams were invited to an event presented as an oral pop quiz. The directions below were read, then all the questions and then all the answers. The transcription of the questions came from a solving team, so this represents what teams might realistically have had during Hunt. The original script for this event is also available.

Write down the answer to each question. I will only read each question once. There will be a ten-second pause between questions. If you finish one early, you can go back to answer a previous one. Once thetest begins, there will be no talking. We shall start now.
