Puzzle Hunt

Puzzle hunt is an annual competition located in Stanford, California. It is a student-run competition, characterized by the difficulty and complexity of its puzzles. Amador Valley High School participates each year as part of Pleasanton Math League (which is composed of students from Amador and Foothill High School along with the three Pleasanton middle schools). 

Format of Puzzle Hunt:
  • two sets of puzzles: each set contains 10 puzzles and a meta puzzle
  • the 10 puzzles are easier than the meta puzzle, but the meta puzzle is worth the most points
  • at least 1/2 to 2/3 of the puzzles need to be solved before attempting the meta puzzle
  • the meta puzzle uses the answers of the regular puzzles to obtain its answer
  • a run-around is held between the first meta puzzle and the next set of puzzles
  • whichever team obtains the most points by the end of the Hunt wins!

This year, 17 Pleasanton teams attended Stanford Puzzle Hunt - a record amount!

Congratulations to team "The Game" for placing second at Puzzle Hunt with a total of 26 points! Team members are the following: Cary Yang, Joey Pereira, Jeffrey Chen, Michael Cheung, Chris Pocs, Michael Kang, Melinda Huerta, Vignesh Kalidas, Maiya Tracy, and Wendi Liu.

Thank you to everyone who participated this year!
