Grab your walking shoes and a pen, and get ready to roam the campus to complete McMaster's first Amazing Race contest.

In the summer 2007 issue of Perspectives, the online newsletter by and for employees, there is a contest open to all employees. You can even combine your efforts and create a team (maximum four people) to make it easier to win.

What can you win? Everyone who submits an entry will receive a prize. In addition, the top three individuals/teams who submit their answers by Friday, Aug. 10 will receive grand prizes.

Some of the answers require that you investigate on foot, others can be found on the web or by making a simple phone call. Use your investigative skills to find the answers — we will give extra points for creativity!

There are a total of 25 questions. To give you a head start, answer only 20 questions (you can choose which ones to answer) and submit your answers by the deadline of Friday, Aug. 10. Winners will be chosen based on accuracy, creativity and ability to meet the deadline.
