Wireless treasure

In a neat twist on the treasure hunt theme, those idle students over at DCU have being putting their ample free time to good use in devising a Wi-Fi-based game to search for hidden goodies.

Or more specifically, a bloke carrying a wireless access point serving up a website with a question that needs to be answered, with the prize being a handy 200 yo-yos. Sounds complicated but all you need is a wireless-enabled laptop or PDA plus some free "listening" software to help you pinpoint the signal, which will be located somewhere around Stephen's Green.

Check out the WaveHunt page for more details of the competition, which happens on Saturday. Great idea, more like this one, guys, please. And well done for making it on to Slashdot.
