And now: the final installment of checkpoints from FRAC 2!

Teams were recharging and enjoying their ice cream at Bobtail (well, most of them anyway) when we last saw them. When they were ready to resume the race they called in for their next clue:

Checkpoint 10: Getting Around

(Previously: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)

So we have left our FRAC teams running from the Chicago Children’s Museum to the anchor just east of the Grand Ballroom. When they got there they found their next checkpoint:
Checkpoint #7: Monkey See, Monkey Do

(Previously: Part 1, Part 2)

So, we last left out intrepid contestants standing on West Randolph Street. Let’s see what their next clue was:
Checkpoint #4: A Type of Collie?

(Previously: Part 1)

We pick up our race with the teams just having finished the Trivia Quiz. If you looked over the questions and thought, “My gosh, that looks hard!”, you’re right! Heck, I think I got only about 15 of them correct when takaza first showed them to me.
Here’s the results of the quiz, and the order in which the teams departed

Furries Race Across Chicago (or FRAC) is the name of a treasure hunt that we conduct periodically; the object is to visit a set number of checkpoints scattered throughout the Chicago area in the correct order and return to FRAC Headquarters in the shortest amount of time. This past weekend was the second FRAC. A summary of the first FRAC can be found over here, and here are the results from that race. Also, here are the Rules For FRAC for your perusal. In presenting the summary of FRAC 2, I’m going to post the questions and answers in sections over a the next couple of days, along with a bit of commentary. Here’s the start of the race:

This time around, we had seven teams:
Team Crossing Gates: posicat and stormdog
Team Bi-Bitches: lisagems and wooisme
Team Yuk: Linnaeus and mirkowuff
Torgo’s Angels: tincrash and Max
Minoriteam: steviemaxwell and sylverfox
Team Jonathan Hitler’s Magic Aston Martin with the Vin Diesel Hubcaps (see, this is what happens when the poet name the team): daveqat and mstegosaurus
Team Simbius: siriuswolfstar and simbalion

Teams were instructed to gather in the hotel conference room at 10 AM, which we almost accomplished (HA!). Once there, they were informed that they would be taking a quiz to determine the starting order. Teams had 15 minutes to complete the quiz, which would be graded on both the number of correct answers and how fast they were turned in. What we didn’t tell them was that the team that scored highest left last, and the team that scored lowest left first. Ostensibly this was to even out the field a bit, but in hindsight it just meant that the teams tended to bunch up a bit more. That didn’t turn out to be a problem, as you will see.
