Online treasure Hunt

Ok, attended the BMSCE Information Science fest today. I had registered for online treasure hunt...But when I did go there for the prelims , they gave me a few puzzles to solve. I assumed that it was an elimination round and hence was not online. Fortunately or unfortuantely(which I shall explain later) I did get shorlisted for the finals. I assumed and presumed that I will have to do some fishing on the net in the finals since the event was titled "Online Treasure Hunt". To all my surprise, it turned out to be a puzzle solving competition all through!!! And the first thing I had to solve was a Su-Doku.....Believe me, I had never solved a su-doku earlier in my life...And the fact that it was not an online treasure hunt (speaking strictly) had dissapointed me enough . So, we ended up loosing....but surprisingly enough, we did solve the Su-doku and finished very close to winning!!On the whole, I did not get dissapointed because I never thought I was good in solving puzzles. But in case I had lost in the actual "Online Treasure Hunt", I would have been tooooooo dissapointed.
