I didn't go to school at MIT, but I've played in the MIT Mystery Hunt. So I've sent in some thank-you money, and thus landed on their alumni fundraising mailing list. They just sent me a postcard about their upcoming 24-Hour Challenge fundraiser; the postcard got my attention because it had a crossword, albeit a sparse "vocabulary" crossword emphasizing MIT trivia.
I didn't go to school at MIT, but I've played in the MIT Mystery Hunt. So I've studied and absorbed a fair amount of MIT trivia. Sure, I know a five-letter MIT unit of measurement; six-letter nature's engineer. I might bristle a bit with San Franciscan pride when asked what "MIT" holiday is on March 14th (That's a nerd thing, not just an MIT thing. It started at the Exploratorium!), but I know what to write in the grid.
I didn't go to school at MIT, but I've played in the MIT Mystery Hunt. So thanks to that, sure, I know what the MIT undergraduate class ring is called. It occurs to me that I don't know what the class ring was called at the school that I actually attended. (Did my school's ring have a name? Is it normal for school rings to have names? MIT's is the only one I know.)
Anyhow, if you want to flex your MIT knowledge (whether your studied there or not), go to the fundraiser page and scroll down until you see the download the crossword button.
