INCOGNITO HONOR CODE (worth a big wet one)
I will never use a cellular phone. They can listen in. I will shred my garbage. They can pick through it. I will wash myself twenty times a day. They could've laced me with "spy dust." I will turn my television set to the wall whenever I'm not using it. It transmits both ways. I will never speak in a room with windows. They can map the vibrations on the glass. I will always use somebody else's internet account. They think that they are so darned clever; I will beat them. So there.

--Also attached are seven trivia-equations, which are self-explanatory. The answers to these equations will yield seven more words of the final question
--Bundle up out there!
--Many of the clues you will encounter are in locations that you cannot mess with; others, however, are quite open to defacement, removal, alteration, etc. WE opportunity to ruin the chances of other teams to get a given clue, you will grin evilly at the thought of doing so and then do NO SUCH THING.
