Event Introduction

Professor Phillip Brainard, an absent minded professor, works with his assistant Weebo, creates the famous substance flubber(gooey substance on the hand flows like a cream if you treat it gently and has tendency to bounce a lot), but disaster strikes and flubber goes missing. If it falls in wrong hands humanity could bounce into space even gravity will not be able to stop us. Worried about the consequences he appoints 5 teams of able individuals consisting of 3 members each selected through Brainardstorm test. Professor Brainard requires people with high level survey skills to locate important universities spread around the world to gain clues about the whereabouts of the flubber.

The basic idea of the event is to spread awareness about importance of survey in expedition projects along with a test of logical and analytical skills of the participants.
