The Monte Vista Invitational - Home of the Eliminator!

The annual MVXC Scavenger Hunt was next up as a Pod contest, as the teams raced against the clock and each other to find the 10 items from Coach Davis' strange list.  Fifty minutes was set as the time limit, with the first team back with all 10 items declared the winner.  Of course, the coaching staff was in charge of confirming whether all items had been collected, which always leads to great controversy and excitement!

The 10 items for this years hunt:
1. A Tic-Tac mint
2. An acorn with the "cap" still on it
3. A photo of a real live horse, taken by a pod member, during the contest
4. A video of a MV teacher or staff member doing the "horse dance" (also known as Gangnan Style dance).
5. A medal or racing bib from a track or cross country race
6. Something with the Fresh N Easy logo on it
7. A photo of the tunnel
8. Something with the Stanford logo on it
9. A "tri-bar" jersey
10. A flip phone

Returning in an amazing (and of course, immediately suspcious) time of 14 minutes, the Los Podres pod returned with all items.  Boom, done, game over.  The judges quickly confirmed their items and boom - game over.  After a few minutes, 12 Peas in a Pod were next in with a clean check-in as well.  The battle for 3rd proved intense, as Podject Runaway tried to check in with 17:03 left in the contest, but failed to produce the Fresh-N-Easy item and was denied!  Porcipod was ready and pounced on the opening, producing all 10 items to seize placement.

In a classic first to worst situation, team i-Pod took last place in total disarray  - failing to turn any items in!
