Code Yellow

Code Yellow was formed in June 2007 to compete in the 1st Google Puzzle Hunt. (We're still patiently waiting for team Phobos-Grunt to put on the 2nd Google Puzzle Hunt.) For most of us, that was our introduction to puzzles.

A slight majority of Code Yellow are Googlers, and a slight majority of Code Yellow are MIT alumni (orthogonal).

Code Yellow is also known as Snow Job when we field two teams for an event.
