(idea snipped)
I put together a similar concept back in 1984, way before I pledged,
except rather than collecting pictures of objects, people were collecting
unique information at locations I hinted at around campus. Nobody had to
do anything illegal, and the hints took you in a wide circle around the
campus (which happened to be SUNY Buffalo's). The information was things
like the address of the manufacturer of a metal door on a monument, the
DOT identification number on a bridge that was easily visible from the
footpath underneath it, etc.

And the seasons they go round and round,
And the painted ponies go up and down:
We're captive on a carousel of time.
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came...
And go round and round and round in the circle game.
