Decathlon 5
May 30 and June 6, 2009
|
Decathlon 5 was held in the San Francisco Bay Area in spring, 2009
for players of all experience levels. The theme was the electromagnetic spectrum, and
41 teams turned out over two Saturdays to follow their host, Roy G. Bv, through a colorful series of puzzles. In the process, teams visited the infrared part of the spectrum to receive a clue that sent them to exhibits in the Exploratorium, decoded a real Morse Code message on an obscure radio frequency, solved the mystery of a gang of superheroes affected by various forms of electromagnetic radiation, and sent unusual crossword-style definitions through a prism.
Congratulations to our two gold medal winners, shown below.
May 30 - Burninators (1105)

June 6 - 5 Blind Boys (1105)

Congratulations to the many other teams who solved all of the puzzles and bonuses to receive a perfect score of 1105, and to everyone for helping to make Decathlon 5 another successful public event!
