Second year participating. Hoping to come back stronger this year but it was a let down. This year's hunt is less on cryptic questions (which we scored most of it :P). Most marks are from the challenges and there are 5 tough challenges. When I say tough, it was really tough lor...
Task 1: Climbing up KL tower
2 out of 4 of us have to complete this. It's not new to me and FL but we're not mentally prepared. Nonetheless, we made it to the top, passing many teams which were struggling half way. Then we need to look through the window using the telescope, and solve two questions. CY and KY who were at the base needs to solve some pictures clue.
Task 2: Penalty kick challenge
In the spirit of World Cup, they throw in a task that has something to do with footbal. We were given 3 attempts to kick a ball into a few holes. It's not as easy as it looks. We were not given any practice kicks. Not able to aim properly, most team failed to get any points here...us included.
Task 3: Paintball challenge
2 out of 4 need to perform this. We need to get 2 flags with 2 shooters trying to knock us out. With one the shooter focusing on each player, it's tough even trying to get past mid way. And most teams came out with bruises on their legs. After seeing so many failed attempts, we chicken-ed out. To save some time (LOL...it's actually to avoid the pain/bruises).
Task 4: Atlantis puzzle
One team member need to submerge underwater to get a glimpse of the puzzle at the bottom of the pool. 3 will be at the side. Verbally, the one in the water will have to instruct the rest to assemble the shapes same as per the one in the water. We were actually doing quite well but half way through, our puzzle was ruined by the water because we were too near the water edge.
Task 5: Final challenges
a. Find pebbles in a small tank filled with few small pythons. I took this task as I feel more comfy compared to doing task b. The 'geli' part is when after they blindfolded me, they put a big python on top of my shoulders. I can feel it's tongue on my arm....ticklish...
b. Transfer live, wiggling worms, with your mouth from one plate to another. I have to admit that it was quite gross. Applause to KY who managed to get a few mouthfuls.
Although we didn't win this time round, but it was a fun-filled day (except for the kns paintball). It was the experience that counts (and the lucky draws we got too, teeeheheheheh).
