Author's notes

Author: Dan and Allen

This was the thematic arch that brought all of our puzzle pathways together. The puzzle itself was relatively straightforward once you had collected all of the mini-meta answers but somewhat more difficult to downright impossible if you had not.

This survey spoofed some of the useless End of Subject Surveys that the University insists on sending out and asking you to complete. The questions in the survey are also a direct imitation of the questions that we ask you for your feedback at the end of each puzzle. In fact, some of the “other comments” in this puzzle were directly borrowed from real feedback that some of you left on earlier days during this puzzle hunt (so if you would like to feature in one of our puzzles one day, do keep leaving your feedback — insightful or funny or otherwise).

The answer to this puzzle reflects our overall thoughts on (some, if not all, of) the MD Discovery subjects and the MD Curriculum Redesign.
