I'm disappointed that I missed the 'resourcefulness era'. I like puzzles and challenges that have no single path to the solution (ME 101 projects, etc.). How can we free the clue from this giant block of ice? How can we read this microfilm at 12 o'clock at night? There's a lot of value in puzzles that reward creative and lateral thinking (and preparedness and resourcefulness) - I hope they haven't been left behind for good.

"[A]nyone and anything may be brought along. Although The Game is not a trivia contest, various reference books come in handy. Food and tools should not be forgotten. You never know what will come in useful... Preparing for The Game is half the fun!" - What is The Game?
Well, so much for half the fun of The Game ;)
