Your Mission:


Since they lost to the Humanities Department (is “humanities” even a real topic?) after decades of winning William & Mary’s annual Raft Debate, the Natural and Computational Sciences Department decided to show them who actually controls the fate of humanity. On campus, teachers AND students are dependent on their technology. One could say—they can’t function without it. So, the sciences banded together. The Computer Science Department coded a virus that would destroy all technology on campus – excluding their own. The virus has already infected the lighting system and ALL of the phones on campus. But, the Sciences decided to give the Humanity Department a chance to prove their worth. They left a single computer working. YOU have been chosen to represent the Humanities, perhaps unwillingly, to save campus from a total blackout! Can your team can find all of the clues and overwrite the code in time to save the school?
