Snowdoku has a winner

The Chrysler Aspen Snowdoku Challenge that I wrote about a while back took place today.  The winning team was a group of women from the University of Pennsylvania swim team.

There’s a picture of the event here.  And I have to say I’m a bit disappointed.  I was expecting the grid to be larger.  Also, the oversized pencil is great, but what the heck is it for?  They’re clearly laying down numbers printed on clear plastic.  While they appear to be using the pencil to do this (who knows why) they’re also clearly using their hands.  Well, what did I expect from one big gimmick?

Chrysler Snowdoku

On February 27, Chrysler will be having a “Snowdoku Challenge” which is being touted as a “must-see outdoor sporting event.” They’re looking for teams of up to 8 players to go to New York City to compete against each other and see which team can fill out an over-sized sudoku made out of snow in the least amount of time. The competition will involve sitting in a 2007 Chrysler Aspen with a giant pencil on it and then using that pencil to fill out the sudoku. The first team to complete the sudoku with the giant pencil and return it to the top of the SUV wins. Winners get a trip to Aspen, Colo.

Before you start assembling your team, you need to be within a 200-mile radius of New York City. More information can be found at this press release. Here’s hoping the video of this event ends up on youtube.
