Sorry, but this is an hour and a half late (if you consider Mountain
Time and all that). Some system down time (both mine and the host's)
slowed me up a bit. Would have been even later except that I'm now
beginning to receive some...
HELP FOR THE HUNT
==================
A group of stalwart individuals have decided to forgo the joys of Hunt
competition and instead help come up with the questions that torture
you all so well. They are a fine and diverse group of people, and
they will help evolve the Hunt into whatever form it takes in the
future.
We're just starting to gel, so you can expect to hear more from them
as the ball gets rolling (though a few of their questions are below).
I'm very glad to have their help, and I salute them all!
So, here is the usual boilerplate...
THE RULES
---------
1. There are a total of 11 questions. These all count toward your
score. I have personally verified that each of these can be answered
using only the resources of the Net. These are contrived questions.
2. There is no mystery question this time.
3. Each of these first 11 questions carries a value in parentheses.
This point value is my best guess on how tough that question is to
answer. The scale is 1 (easy), to 10 (hard). Total points for all
questions is listed after the last question.
4. Answer as many questions as you can. Partial credit is awarded.
5. Teams are allowed to submit entries. These must be designated as
such. Pick a team name. Team entries will be scored separately from
individual entries.
6. All answers must be mailed to me. My standard signature will
be at the bottom of this message.
7. The contest will run for one week from the date of posting of this
message. The deadline should appear in the header at the top of this
message.
8. Feel free to send me potential question for the Hunt, be they
scored, or mystery.
9. I consider this and all Hunt files to be in the public domain.
10. Have fun! What's it all for, after all?
SCORING
-------
1. Whoever correctly answers all the questions first shall be declared
the winner.
2. In the event that nobody answers all the questions, the player
with the highest point total shall be declared the winner.
3. If there is a tie for highest point total, the player who
responded first shall be declared the winner.
4. Assume you're answering the question for someone who understands
the basic network tools (ftp, telnet, finger, gopher, etc.), but just
doesn't know where the data is. Answers like:
ftp host.university.edu
...will not score as high as:
anonymous ftp to host.university.edu
cd /pub/documents
file is called important.txt.Z
Don't feel that you have to detail how to use ftp. Instead, tell me
the steps you've taken to find your answers, what tool you used to find
it, and if necessary, the end information itself. I need to be able
to recreate the steps you took.
5. It's always a good idea to let us know how you decided where to
begin looking. After all, we can't have everyone thinking that you're
all geniuses with innate Net-knowledge! :-)
6. Read the question carefully. If it's asking for specific
information (like "What is the chorus to Jingle Bells?"), then supply
that info in your answer. Sometimes you may find a pointer to a
source that no longer exists. Providing the end information tells me
that you actually checked the source out.

ABOUT THIS HUNT
---------------
This is the first Hunt since forming a team of folks to
help with the Hunt. Some of the questions are theirs.
Expect to see more and more of their contributions over time
as we shift from a one-man to many-person operation.
ABOUT THE NEXT HUNT
-------------------
Look for something a little different for April. I'll
decide on a release date soon, but most assuredly after
easter. Look for the date on the main gopher server at
gopher.cic.net.
THE HUNT RESULTS
----------------
1. (5) I own a company that exports mining machinery and I'd like to
know if Chile would be a good investment. Could you get me figures
that tell me if U.S. trade with Chile is increasing or decreasing, and
by what percent. Also, a list of their principle imports would be
nice.
(Question from Alan Shapiro)
[Rick: Alan found this in a place nobody else discovered. A gopher at
the University of Missouri, St. Louis (umslvma.umsl.edu 70), has a
good collection of government resources under the Library menu. This
is where Alan found a slew of U.S. Dept of Commerce documents labeled
'Overseas Business Reports'. Just about all Hunters used consecutive
issues of the CIA World Factbook. I accepted any consecutive years,
as long as they were relatively recent.
One of the problems that I had with this question was the wording
(which I changed from Alan's original... live and learn). A strict
interpretation of the second sentence means that all anyone needs to
do is get me the correct figures from the Nets... actually computing
the percentages is not 'strictly' necessary. Since the Hunts are more
about Net access than arithmetic, I decided to give full credit for
those that at least provided the correct figures.]
----------
This looks like a good question for which to use the CIA World
Fact Book. A Veronica search turns up 1993 version in Wais
searchable form at the following gopher bookmark
#
Type=7
Name=CIA World Fact Book 1993 - Suche (Kanada)
Path=waissrc:.WAIS/world-factbook93.src
Host=gopher.uwo.ca
Port=70
URL:
The 1992 exports from Chile are listed as $10 billion with the
U.S. taking 18%, which works out to $1.8 billion. Chile
imported in the same year $9.2 billion of which 21% came from
the U.S. ($1.93 billion)
The 1992 CIA World Fact Book was found in the same Veronica
search at the following bookmark:
#
Type=1
Name=CIA World Fact Book 1992
Path=ftp:twosocks.ces.ncsu.edu@/pub/docs/international/worldfactbook/
Host=kids.ccit.duq.edu
Port=70
URL: ftp://twosocks.ces.ncsu.edu/pub/docs/international/worldfactbook/
Opening the directory given by this bookmark and selecting the
entry for Chile gives the following data.
The 1991 exports from Chile represent $8.9 billion of which the
U.S. took 18%, which works out as $1.60 billion. The 1991
imports by Chile were $7.4 billion of which 20% came from the
U.S. ($1.48 billion).
Thus Chile's imports from the U.S. increased from $1.48 billion
to $1.93 billion from 1991 to 1992. This is an increase of $450
million or 30% relative to the 1991 imports. (The exports to
the U.S. increased by $200 million or 12.5% in the same time
period.)
The 1993 CIA World Fact Book lists Chile's principle imports as
follows:
capital goods 25.2%,
spare parts 24.8%,
raw materials 15.4%,
petroleum 10%,
foodstuffs 5.7%

3. (4) Who was appointed the Head of the United Nations'
International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons
Responsible for Serious Violations of International
Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former
Yugoslavia since 1991
[Rick: Here was another problem child... this time not just of my own
making. The trouble was that there is no 'Head' of the tribunal. The
person I was originally after was Ramon Escovar-Salom, the prosecutor.
Most people found Antonio Cassese, who was appointed President of the
tribunal after Escovar-Salom's appointment. I gave full credit for
either answer here. Sleepless at Stanford gives us both.
To make matters worse, the tribunal changed it's name, as pointed out
by Will Linden.]
----------
answer: Ramon Escovar-Salom
*******
Search strategy:
****************
I poked around the UN Gopher (from gopher.umn.edu: Other Gopher
and Information Servers/International Organizations/United
Nations) for a while before finding a General Assembly
resolution about Yugoslavia. It urged the Security Council to
form this tribnal. Then, I looked around in the Press Releases
of the Security Council. (UN Press Releases/SC: Security
Council) and found this.
Security Council SC/5722
3296th Meeting (PM) 21 October
1993
SECURITY COUNCIL APPOINTS RAMON ESCOVAR-SALOM OF VENEZUELA AS
PROSECUTOR OF TRIBUNAL ON VIOLATIONS OF HUMANITARIAN LAW IN
FORMER YUGOSLAVIA
The Security Council this afternoon appointed Ramon Escovar-
Salom, Attorney General of Venezuela, as Prosecutor of the
International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons
Responsible for Serious Violations of International
Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former
Yugoslavia since 1991.
--> NOTE:
*********
There is a second person with a task that is not much different
from the above mentionned person: Antonio Cassese. Information
about him was obtained as above:
INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL FOR FORMER YUGOSLAVIA ELECTS
ITS PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF APPEALS AND TRIAL CHAMBERS
THE HAGUE, 18 November -- On 18 November, in the course
of the second meeting of the first session of the International
War Crimes Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, the 11 Judges
elected Antonio Cassese (Italy) as their President. --
[From the Sleepless at Stanford Team, Stanford University,
Stanford, California, U.S.A.]
----------
Judge Antonio Cassese, of Italy
A veronica search on "International Tribunal" turned up an
archived post to the INT-LAW mailing list which in turn
included the 12/7/93 issue of BOSNET
URL:
gopher://gopher.law.cornell.edu:70/
00/listservs/intlaw/01513:International
Tribunal for Crimes in Former Yugoslavia
This issue included a story reporting on the first sessions
of the Tribunal at the Hague in November, where Judge
Cassese was elected President by acclamation.
It was also decided that the body would be called for
working purposes "The International Tribunal for Crimes in
former Yugoslavia".

U.S.A.]
=====================================================================
4. (4) Hi! I live in Yreka, California, U.S.A. Who is my California
state senator?
Answer: Maurice Johannessen
After doing a Veronica search for the keywords "California senat*"
I found (among other sites) the following gopher link:
Type=1
Name=California State Senate
Path=1gopher_root1:[sen]
Host=SEN.CA.GOV
Port=70
URL: gopher://SEN.CA.GOV:70/11gopher_root1:[sen]
I decided to attempt to gopher directly to the host (gopher
SEN.CA.GOV). I found a file describing how to find a
California state senator by using a ZIP code in his district,
thorugh chosing menu-points:
How to discover information about the California State Legislature/
Access to Information based on ZIP Code.
To access the file directly point your WWW client or gopher to:
URL: gopher://SEN.CA.GOV:70/00gopher_root1:[ACCESS]zipcode.txt
The file told me that there were several methods to retrieve
the name of a state senator and district for a given California
Zip-Code. The method I chose is using the finger command with
the method "finger <zipcode>@sen.ca.gov.
To find out the zipcode for Yreka, I did an archie search on
"zipcodes" and found a compressed file of all US zip-codes at:
JHUNIX.HCF.JHU.EDU in directory
/pub/public_domain_software/bsd-sources/share/misc (found it
via archie)
In this file it told me that Yreka's Zip code is 96097. I
executed the following command:
finger 96097 at sen.ca.gov
and received the following information:
Zip code 96097 is entirely in Siskiyou county.
This zip code is entirely in Senate District 4.
Here is information on each of those districts.

6. (6) Of Apple and Microsoft, which company spent a higher percentage
of its operation expenses on research and development during the 4th
quarter of 1993?
[The SEC Edgar database is an important resource. Much

Science Foundation, Carl Malamud, and the Taxpayer Assets
Project's Crown Jewels Campaign who all helped see to it
that the information is available to us all. Access is

=========================
10. (4) How is beer made?
I entered trn, my browser of choice for Usenet news, and
searched for newsgroups containing the word "beer". This
resulted in alt.beer, which I subscribed to and noticed that
the articles were mostly cross-posted to rec.crafts.brewing. I
then subscribed to rec.crafts.brewing and found the FAQ.
Since this is a FAQ, it's also available at
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-heirarchy/rec.crafts.brewing.
Question one of the rec.crafts.brewing FAQ
Beer is made from extracting sugar from the starch in malted
grain. This is boiled with sufficient water & hops to make a
"wort." When this has cooled, brewing yeast is added to ferment
the wort to create this finished product, which is suitable for
b ottling or kegging, and maturation. Some people mash their
own grain, while others buy canned malt extract. Either method
is suitable for creating an award-winning brew, though mashing
does allow greater control over the finished product, and
"mash'ers" claim better beer is made. For more complete
information get the compressed file beginners.Z from the
Stanford server (see #4 in the FAQ).

Extra Credit (1) What channel does the HomeWrecker virus leave the TV
tuned to?
[Rick: Gotta love this poke at the future... earliest
attribution I can find is author Michael Schrage... it has
his touch.]
----------
This little one point question cost me a lot of time digging
through the comp.virus FAQ and the VIRUS-L archives. I even
tried to run down information on home automation! Finally I
realized that what we had here was from a piece of humor. That
led me to search through Gopher directories with veronica using
"humor" as a key. And what do you know! The first of the
"humor" directories I looked at had a file called
"smart-house", and that held the answer.
Here is the bookmark for it:
#
Type=0
Name=smart-house
Path=0/Temporary Items/Larry's Public
Files/opusl/pub/humor/computer/smart-house
Host=deathstar.stanford.edu
Port=70
URL: gopher://deathstar.stanford.edu:70/00/Temporary Items/Larry's
Public Files`
Here's what you find in the "smart-house" file:
TCI, the nation's largest cable television Company, is in talks
to launch a unique pilot project in conjunction with Pacific
Gas & Electric Co. and Microsoft Corporation to design a "smart
home". The home automation industry is expected to triple in
size, from $1.7 billion this year to more than $5.1 billion by
the year 2000.
November 28, 1995
Moved in at last. Finally, we live in the smartest house in the
neighborhood. Everything's networked. The cable TV is
connected to our phone, which is connected to my PC, which is
connected to the power lines, all the appliances and the
security system. Everything runs off a universal remote with
the friendliest interface I've ever used. Programming is a
snap. I'm, like, totally wired.
[...]
December 12
This is a nightmare. There's a virus in the house. My personal
computer caught it while browsing on the public access network.
I come home and the living room is a sauna, the bedroom windows
are covered with ice, the refrigerator has defrosted, the
washing machine has flooded the basement, the garage door is
cycling up and down and the TV is stuck on the Home Shopping
channel. Throughout the house, lights flicker like stroboscopes
until they explode from the strain. Broken glass is
everywhere. Of course, the security sensors detect nothing.
I look at a message slowly throbbing on my PC screen: "Welcome
to HomeWrecker!!! Now the FUN begins....(be it ever so humble,
there's no virus like HomeWrecker....)". I get out of the
house. Fast.
