It was the first Kaleidoquiz win ever for Martin Hall’s Starbuck house.

The team, which was named “I was hiding under your porch because I love you.,” has been a regular team but had never placed in a top spot.

Second place went to the materials science and engineering team, which was headquartered in Hoover Hall.

That team, which was named “I Mustache You A Question,” placed fifth last year.

The third-place team, named “Super-Secret KQ Kommandos,” were older students and alumni of the Lyon Harwood team.

This year’s Harwood team, named “The next 26 hours are the only time every year that Google’s DNS server gets more access than your mom.,” finished in sixth place.

It has traditionally been a top-placing team with many first-place finishes in the past few years.

Rick Hanton, senior in computer engineering, said the older students and alumni who didn’t return — those who joined to form “Super-Secret KQ Kommandos” — hurt the overall experience of the team.

With so many underclassmen recruited, next year is looking better.

Last year a group of alumni of the Friley-based Lorch-Russel team joined for a one-year wonder team.

That team, “Epic Sail,” won Kaleidoquiz 2009.

The 26-hour Kaleidoquiz, which lasted from 4 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday, had teams answering more than 250 questions and challenges that took them all over campus and the Ames community.

Team members had to draw a mural, play dodgeball, find Lady Gaga, dance in Snuggies, watch out for zombies on campus, have someone shave most of his or her body, find items in “World of Warcraft,” identify classic Nintendo sounds, find Cousin Carl at a bar, and travel to Minneapolis and back.
