Rubi Con Geocaching Challenge, presented by Ann Arbor 2600 Hint: It's not where you think it is. You've never seen Dearborn like this before. Armed with billions of dollars worth of military time satellites, George, our man with the GPS, has scoured Dearborn for locations interesting and challenging. From the local Radio Hut to Ford's Super Computing Center, finding a location is not always the same as getting there. Locations are ranked by difficulty, and points awarded if you make it there. Evidence is required for the challenge, so bring your camera. Winners will receive their very own authentic NAVSTAR satellite (GPS22), recently deorbited onto Denis' new house, or maybe just a t-shirt. Teams are encouraged, but there is no registration necessary. Winners will be determined during closing ceremonies on Sunday.

RC5 Scavenger Hunt Because it caused so many problems last year, our rather infamous scavenger hunt is back. Once again we will be shamelessly promoting petty theft and vandalism in the pursuit of abstract inherently meaningless "points." Sadly, per last year, there will be less petty theft and vandalism. But you will still win if you get a duck. Teams are encouraged, but there is no registration necessary. Winners will be determined during closing ceremonies on Sunday.

Beat the Geeks D-Town Style Think you're smarter than Myself? I doubt it. Hapless audience members pit their wits against our resident geeks in nerd trivia, failing spectacularly in humiliating defeat in front of hundreds of complete strangers. Like Iron Chef Rubi Con, or the awful Comedy Central (from which we seem to steal all our games) show to which the title alludes. An audience member will volunteer themselves for the slaughter, and challenge our distinguished panel of People Who Are Smarter Than You. "Beat the Geeks D-Town Style" will run at 16:00 on Saturday in Room B. This is our own take on one game show from Comedy Central. Four resident geeks (tbd), volunteers from the audience, geeky questions, and the always popular Wheel of Doom. Contestants get a chance to beat our geeks, by asking one question, to one geek (must be able to prove the correct answer via net connection within 60 seconds.) If our geeks fail, you get a point. Then a question from that geek is presented. If you get that right you get another point. Fail? Spin the Wheel of Doom. If you make it through alive, you win a prize! Whoo Hoo! Play if you dare.

Win NFF's T-Shirts, with guest host Jason Scott Predicated on the knowledge that people love free stuff, and to a greater extent free stuff you can wear, NFF will once again be hosting his nationally recognized and award winning game. Based on a certain unnamed Ben Stein-based trivia offering, teams answer assorted nerd trivia as NFF strips naked, trading skin for correct answers. Actually, no. But he does have a bag full of t-shirts. And his clothes will be stapled to his body to avoid a recurrence what has been called, "The Naked Nick Disaster of 1999." NFF will host two rounds of Win NFF's T-Shirts. "Win NFF's T-Shirts Round I" will run at 23:00 on Friday in Room B. "Win NFF's T-Shirts Round II" will run at 22:00 on Saturday in Room B. Those interested in participating should indicate as such during registration.

\/\/h05 H4cK 15 17 4ny w4Y Inspired by the often maligned British improvisational comedy show, and by the drunken, sophomoric antics of Ron Ulko. Relax with a tasty, non-alcoholic beverage and watch your favorite super villains make jackasses of themselves. Host Sneak sifts through random suggestions and quips as the audience, fickle as they are, bay for blood. Our distinguished panel of knuckleheads, jackasses and professional fuckers react to unwholesome audience suggestions, and absolutely will not stop until baby Jesus is crying. A small mountain of three by five cards, Sharpies, and the dark powers of Satan round out the mix. We expect this to be funny, but will consider it a success if someone (I'm not saying Darkcube necessarily) is reduced to tears. "Whose Hack is it Anyway?" will run at 02:00 on Sunday in Room B. Those interested in participating should indicate as such during registration.

Detroit Equipage Peril Rubi Con's take on Hacker Jeopardy, Detroit Equipage peril is an enhanced version of this game. There are four teams of three people, five categories, and the Wheel of Doom. Some of the categories are "loaded" with the Wheel of Doom, which will give contestants the chance to gain more points, however they have to do crazy stuff. (Aforementioned "crazy things" yet to be determined.) And of course you must take a drink if you get a question incorrect (this making the game more interesting with the Wheel of Doom, and the questions becoming oh so much harder as the booze sinks in.) Interested? Confused? Either way if you want to play you've got to be of Legal Drinking age, and register your teams at the registration booth. See you Friday night at midnight!
