MRV1 was on a warm day in August. The teams had to unscramble a ticket that led them to Viera Regional Park. After a not so fast pre-meeting, the teams chose a teammate to get them a starting position. The Game was golf. the longest drive starts first. Problem was, it was a wiffle golf ball and a plastic golf club.
After some impressive and not so impressive drives…the teams were off and running.

Clue One
Viera’s #1
Now I’ll admit, it was suppose to hold them up a little, but all 11 teams went to VHS. And sadly it took some teams an hour to realize it was referring to Uno’s of Viera.
Clue Four
This Place ramps you down, and it’s near by bridge takes you to a place where Douglas Skyhawks may have once flown. Getting to this clue was a little difficult for the last 4 teams, as the area it was located in was closed around 6:30 PM, so we improvised.
Almost all the teams figured this out in a few minutes, and it led them to the Pineda Boat ramp where they had to fish the next clue out of the river in four parts. |
Final ClueWhat fruit benefits Viera High? Actually, the pineapple fountain at the Avenue donates all the money tossed into it to Brevard County Schools, so technically, it does. This was was finish line. Green team figured this out in about 10 seconds, and finished the race first, an hour before the next team. In the end, Cow Print won by a mere 40 points, cementing their names at the top of the Wisdom Trophy.
And for a historical note, the first ever last place team was Rasta. (Winners of the Gilded Shoe of Slow) |
