The Presence of Your Vehicle Has Been Documented

So I got emailed this link today, for $25 admission for the Gorilla Challenge.  Apparently it's a scavenger hunt, on foot in downtown Dallas, where you have to solve a dozen google-able clues and take pictures of shit.

Anyone up for this?  I'm 100% sure I can convince Stef to join in, but an actual team of 3-5 people would let us be a lot more competitive than just the pair.

Grand prize is $500, and apparently prizes like free iPods and shit are handed out throughout the event (my guess would be to the first team to solve a certain clue, there are 12, takes 10 to win)

..On a completely unrelated note, how effective and at what kind of radius are current cellphone signal scramblers?  This is a purely hypothetical question, and I have no intentions of violating any FCC regulations.

Cellphones switch frequencies upon encountering interference.  They would not be easy to jam.

You dont jam them, you 'intercept' them and route them at will (the blackrobe phreak would likely route it to a fake CC call center or something).  GSM is easy-peasy to hack and there's plenty of DIY-lore on the topic.

Eh too late, nobody piped up and a 2-man team would've been shitty, so we'll just find something else to do that weekend.
