| Title: | The Lost Formula |

| Themes: | Social Networking Sites, Mints |
Results, Prizes and Special Awards
As this was not a conventional hunt, we changed the scoring system slightly. As usual, the points awarded for each question are proportional to the number of incorrect or omitted answers to that question. This ensures that questions are valued according to their perceived level of difficulty. But harder puzzles like the Quiz Questions had a larger weighting than the more straight-forward coin/mint/hunt identification. Correctly linking someone or something to the themes also earned 3 bonus points.
You can peruse the detailed marking scoresheet should you so wish.
