JAMAICA. In November 1997 they qualified for the 1998 World

+ are not English-speaking countries. It's spelled the same way in

+
+
SIOUX is the major tribe in the Dakotas, and the tribes named
+ Dakota are likewise part of the Sioux.
+
+
NUCH? "quv" is Klingon for honor. Based on the way Klingon
+ honor is portrayed in ST:TNG, I found this word for
+ "coward". It's pronounced roughly "nooch"
+
+
HALLOWED

PINE (goes before the given words)

OS (goes after the given words)

HOUND (The Hound of the Baskervilles, a Sherlock Holmes
+ novel, though it's the name of a family, not a place as the clue
+ implies)
+
?
+
ORB (anagram of bro)
+
HELL ("Halfway to Hell" is painted at the midpoint of the
+ Harvard Bridge next to the smoot distance markings)
+
ZOO
+
I'LL (Schwarzenegger catchline originally from The
+ Terminator)
+
+
DEW (Mountain Dew slogan)
+
WINNING
+
FUR
+
SIN (pronounced like "seen" in Spanish)
+
CRIB
+
?
+
+
Based on the title, this is most likely an Anguish Languish or
+ similar phonetic puzzle in which the sequence of answers forms
+ another clue phonetically, with many liberties taken in matching
+ the phonetics. For instance, the S from OS and all of HOUND
+ probably combine to make "SOUND", even though the S makes a Z
+ sound in OS.
+
+
However this clue works, it's supposed to lead to the answer DECODING.

19.667 — Grid Puzzles and Their Variations Solution
+
The clue answers don't appear to fit in the grid. (Possible clue
+ answers below.) In addition, if we take the black squares as the
+ word breaks they would usually represent in word puzzles, some
+ rows have too few or too many entry spaces, and the answers we can
+ come up with do not appear to fit into them conventionally.
+
+
Perhaps we have to modify the grid somehow to make things fit.
+ Taking it as a Game of Life grid and running generations doesn't
+ seem to work.

Phnom Penh: Solution
+
+This is a T puzzle, as clues by the colors and the words superimposed on the
+rubbings. Each rubbing clues a station a short distance from MIT and the
+rubbing is taken in or near that station.
+
+
The purple-framed rubbing, at the top of the page with the word STATION,
+clues North Station. The top of the plaque has the address
+164 Canal Street, which is now an empty space between two sports bars.
+In 1999, it was the location of Financial Perspectives Planning Services,
+so the missing letters are AL.
+
The orange-framed rubbing, on the left side with the word BAY, clues
+Back Bay station, and is in fact a dedication plaque for the station.
+The last word partly visible is GOVERNOR, and the governor of
+Massachusetts with consecutive KA in his name is Dukakis, who was governor
+in 1987 when this station opened. So the missing letters are DU.
+
The red-framed rubbing, the only square shaped one and in the middle of
+the page, clues Central Square. The rubbing is from an inscription on one of the
+cylinders that form the "Multicultural Manifestos"
+artwork that is located there. The inscription on the cylinder has words "...people....different...background...".
+Thus, the missing letters are RE.
+
The green-framed rubbing at the bottom of the page, with letters TWNO
+in a square, clues Downtown Crossing (T-O and W-N are crossing). This
+rubbing is from the
+plaque
+commemorating the Jordan Marsh department store, which sat above Downtown
+Crossing for decades, and in 1996 was bought by Macy's. Note that unlike
+the other ones, Downtown Crossing is not technically on the green line,
+but it is connected by the walkable tunnel to Park Street station.
+The missing letters are SI from "simultaneously".
+
+
Put these together in the order of a possible trip connecting all these
+stations: Red line from Central Square to Downtown Crossing, orange to
+Back Bay, and then back on the orange line to North Station (Back Bay
+is on the commuter rail, but it is on the South Station commuter
+rail, not connected to North Station). Alternatively, just anagram.
+This gives RESIDUAL.

+LISTEN TO WEEKEND EDITION WITH LIANE HANSEN. REPLACE KN WITH H IN ONE RHYMING PAIR AND SOLVE. REPLACE THE LAST TWO LETTERS IN THE ANSWER WITH X TO FORM ANOTHER WORD.
+
+
+Weekend Edition is an NPR program that airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The Sunday program is hosted by Liane Hansen and airs in Boston on WBUR (90.9 FM) at 8:00. One regular segment on the program features 'puzzle master' Will Shortz (the New York Times crossword puzzle editor), which always airs about 40 minutes into the show. One piece of his segment involves posing word puzzles to a
+listener who submitted a correct answer to the previous week's 'challenge puzzle'.
+The piece went something like this (answers to clues are inline):
+
+
+
+"I'm going to give you 2 rhyming words. You give a 3rd word that can follow each of mine to complete a compound word or familiar 2-word phrase. For example, if I said "Wish" and "Fish," you'd say BONE (as in Wishbone and fishbone)."

+
View, Dew: POINT
+
Cue, Screw: BALL
+
Jack, Crack: POT
+
[a triple] Dead, Head, Bread: LINE
+
+
+
+
Replacing the "kn" in "knot" with 'h' gives the pair "hot, pot" with answer "head". Replacing the last two letters of "head" with 'x' gives the final puzzle answer of HEX.
+
+
+
+
+Author's notes:
+
+
I am acquainted (as are some others in Acme) with Will Shortz through the National Puzzlers' League (NPL). He is VERY nice.
+
An interesting coincidence was pointed out by an Ygology member (thanks, Squonk) - the NPL nom (see note below) for the composers of the challenge puzzle given in the broadcast is HEX.
+
Note: Almost all NPL members have pseudonyms, referred to as "noms". In the case of HEX, it's actually a pair of people - Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, who compose the Boston Globe Sunday crossword that appears every other week and the Atlantic Monthly puzzle. In fact we pointed hunters to a web site which is a guide by them to solving cryptic crosswords.

The magical thing you're supposed to realise, after futzing with it for a long time, is that *all of these things have something in common*, which is to say, each of these can be taken as a word-association thingie for a phrase either starring the word "Carmen" or "Sandiego". (Hence, the theme of this puzzle
+matches the theme of the hunt.)
+
+
+
baseball: San Diego Padres. [You probably had to realise the "Carmen/Sandiego" link before you would have figured this one out.]
+
duck boats: Boston Common. [Pronounced in a proper Bostonian accent, of course.]
+

hooked the worm: Carmen Electra. [A few months ago, she married Dennis Rodman in Las Vegas to much controversy. Rodman's lawyer claimed that he was drunk at the time. Yeesh! On http://headlines.yahoo.com/Full_Coverage/Sports/Dennis_Rodman/, Rodman is already twice referred to as the "Worm". And I swear there were all sorts of headlines about Carmen Electra hooking the worm in Las Vegas. *sigh*]
+
Marc Tanner: Santiago, Chile. [A bit tricky, but you might have recalled reading about Marc on http://web.mit.edu/puzzle/www/acme.html. He's listed as "Marc 'Glad it's not so Chile out anymore' Tanner".]
+
roller hockey international: San Diego Barracudas. [This one was kinda like "baseball", but a simple Yahoo! search on "Carmen" and "San Diego" or "Sandiego" would have yielded all of these.]
+
Aztecs: San Diego State. [The San Diego State mascot is (are?) the Aztecs.]
+
cheesey-poofs: Eric Cartman. [Being myself not a viewer of South Park, I have no idea what this means, but Various People insisted Eric Cartman would be identifiable by "cheesey-poofs".]
+
+
+
+
What next? Well, remove all the Carmens and Sandiegos. You're left with a bunch of words and those numbers on the puzzle; ie,
+
+
+
Padres (4)
+
Boston (4)
+
Miranda (5)
+
Electra (5)
+
Chile (3)
+
Barracudas (2)
+
State (5)
+
Eric (4)
+
+
+
That's just a simple "take the nth letter of the word" -- so you get R T N T I A E C which, if properly reassembled, spells the answer: INTERACT.

The magical thing you're supposed to realise, after futzing with it for a long time, is that *all of these things have something in common*, which is to say, each of these can be taken as a word-association thingie for a phrase either starring the word "Carmen" or "Sandiego". (Hence, the theme of this puzzle
+matches the theme of the hunt.)
+
+
+
baseball: San Diego Padres. [You probably had to realise the "Carmen/Sandiego" link before you would have figured this one out.]
+
duck boats: Boston Common. [Pronounced in a proper Bostonian accent, of course.]

fruit: Carmen Miranda. [Doesn't she wear fruit on her head?]

Note: During the actual Mystery Hunt, teams visited HQ and were given two grids of letters. The first was enlarged and printed on 44"x44" plotter paper and the second was reduced and printed on a 2"x2" square of paper. We've reproduced the images below -- click on them for full size versions.
Note: upon calling HQ, teams were sent to a room to pick up a puzzle. They were greeted by a member of Atlas Shrugged, shredding the puzzle in front of them. The pre-shredded puzzle can be found here (PDF).

This puzzle is a combination multi-colored paint-by-number and dropquote. Solving the PBN reveals a "Hello My Name Is" name badge and certain letters not colored in, which align by columns to be the same number of letters as is needed in the drop quote. Solving the drop quote gives the birth names of many famous people who changed their name (i.e. Allen Konigsberg, who is more famously known as Woody Allen).

In the second grid, the more famous stage names of all of these people fit, with the shaded blue squares matching in two of the names. Reading the shaded blue squares gives NATALIE HERSHLAG, which is the real name of actress NATALIE PORTMAN, the answer.

+ Cut and Tape (The Mock Turtle)

The solvers are presented with what is pretty obviously an 102 piece jigsaw puzzle. After cutting out the pieces and putting all the pieces together they should get an image that itself contains 15 weird shapes that have a number of sharp black(or white if the background is black) lines. A couple of the shapes should specifically remind of images of what shapes look like unfolded. Each of these shapes is an unfolded 3D shape. Cutting these shapes out of the 2D puzzle and folding them will give 15 weird 3D shapes. These themselves are a 3D puzzle that can be placed together to create a recognizable shape. To help with putting together the 3D puzzle, all faces that are inside the model are colored a color that is not used on the outside. When constructed the shape of the model is the recognizable head of SNOOPY wearing his aviator goggles and cap giving the answer to this puzzle. In order to help with the identification there is an UP on the top of Snoopy's head to tell you what orientation to look at the completed 3D puzzle.

+ A Puzzle with the Answer EIGHT DAYS A WEEK (The White Queen)
+
+
+
+
+
Solution to A Puzzle with the Answer EIGHT DAYS A WEEK
+
+
+Author: Galen Pickard
+
+
+
Each of the titles is the current (or terminal) title of a sitting or recently retired Air Force General. The first letters of their surnames spell EIGHT DAYS A WEEK, the answer to the puzzle.
Using standard pay grade notation (2LT = O-1, LT = O-2, etc.), each of these promotion events gives a before/after pair of indices, which index into the General's name to give a translation from one letter to another. Applying all of these translations to the series of letters in the last line spells ACTORJAMESORSPAINSGENERALISSIMO, so the title is FRANCO.

+
+
Phase 7 - TOAST, STEAM [before turning into a zombie, Jordan shuts down the kitchen]
+
+
+This file
+shows the contents of each pot and the chefs'
+cutting boards after every step. When the kitchen is shut down, the numbers
+of tablespoons of pepper in the pots, starting at Dude's pot and moving
+counterclockwise, are 7, 12, 21, 20, 5, 14, 6, 18, 5, and 5. Reading these
+as alphanumerics gives the puzzle answer, GLUTEN FREE.
+
+Notes on a few easter eggs: The chefs, if it wasn't blatantly obvious, are
+parodies of television chefs Guy Fieri, Emeril Lagasse, Gordon Ramsay,
+Alton Brown, and Paula Deen. The Meat Munch is a tribute to the dish of the
+same name offered at Friedey's in James Ernest's Lord of the Fries.
+Zyzzlvaria is the setting of the non-award-winning non-best-selling
+board game Escape From Zyzzlvaria, and it was also the setting for
+the 2009 Mystery Hunt. And the names of the actions in Phase 4 are all
+blender settings; this "coincidence" is intended to reassure solvers that
+they're on the right track.

This puzzle is presented as a cross-shaped arrangement of coats of arms. Other than the blank one showing a question mark, the coats of arms are those of 25 of the 26 cantons of Switzerland, which is also hinted at by the title, the initials of which are the same as the abbreviation for Switzerland (CH, Confoederatio Helvetica), and the name of the font used in the title in the PDF (Helvetica). Also, the dimensions of the cross are exactly the dimensions of the cross in the Swiss coat of arms and flag. The missing 26th coat of arms is that of Vaud, which says "LIBERTÉ ET PATRIE" on it.
+
+
The puzzle is a cryptogram. Each of the boxed rows contains the name of a municipality in Switzerland (or a district in the case of Appenzell Innerrhoden, which does not have municipalities and whose districts are equivalent to municipalities in other cantons), where diacritics and hyphens have been preserved, which makes one of the names (Châtel-sur-Montsalvens) an easy way to break into the cryptogram.
+
+
The first letters of the municipality names spell out ORDER BY CANTON LETTER MAPPING. As it turns out, there is a bijection between municipalities and cantons; each of the 26 cantons contains a different municipality in this set. Order the missing letters in each municipality name by the cryptogram letter mapping of the coat of arms of the canton that municipality is in, and they spell out MEET VIRGINIA OR PERMANENT WAY. This clues the answer, TRAIN TRACK, as "Meet Virginia" is a track by the band Train and the term "permanent way" refers to a railroad track (thanks to Erin Rhode for this cluephrase).
+
+
+
+
The full solution, with the decrypted grid and complete table of correspondences, is posted here.

The three chess puzzle solutions are depicted here. The Hatter is a very powerful piece, and can actually mate on any of the boards. However, the Hare and Dormouse are only useful on one board each, forcing you to use the Hatter on the remaining board.

+
+ 1. HT=d5+ a2
+ 2. Fh3#
+
+
+
+ 1. HR=g5+ Nxg5
+ 2. Sd8#
+
+
This puzzle has multiple solutions; placing the Hare on any square highlighted in red results in a mate. Using d5 or any square along that diagonal is much more exciting because it pins both the knight on e6 and the pawn on f7 to the king. However, most solvers opted for the simpler placement on the g file.
+
+
+ 1. DM=e6+ Kd8
+ 2. Nf7# (or Rf8#)
+
+
+
+
+
Once teams present a valid solution, the Unicorn gratefully offers them a gift. He takes one of the Black kings off the board, pours some "Drink Me" liquid on it, and produces a 3-foot-tall plastic Black king for teams to take with them.

This is what one of the boards looks like when assembled:
