The Great Computer Challenge

School: ______

The Great Computer Challenge Internet Scavenger Hunt Level II

Instructions:

Solve all ten problems as completely as possible. Partial answers will be accepted. Note that only the final URLs are required.

This form must be completed for the judges.

Keep these points in mind:

• The URLs are required. Even if you know the answer, you must find the information on the Internet and list the URL where you found the answer.

• Some of the problems may have more than one question.

• Put your school name on each page.

• This document is available on media in Microsoft WORD format. You may use it to copy and paste your answers from the browser to the document. You do not have to use the document. If you prefer, you may use the printed copy and write your answers in the spaces provided.

• You must turn in a printed version of your completed form for judging – again, you may have written on the form, or you may have used the computer version. Either is fine, but make sure you have a paper document to hand in at the end of the competition.
