Odyssey of the Mind

Ok, first off... does anyone know what it is?

Just wondering, because most people don't.

It's a competition of sorts, is it not? I heard of it ages ago when I was still in K-12, but I never partook.

I've heard of that. It's a competition in creativity, teamwork, and problem solving IIRC. From what I've heard it sounds pretty fun.

Destination Imagination is one Canadian equivelant. Apparently the name "Odyssey of the Mind" is copywrited.

Congratulations. I'm still not entirely sure what it is, though...
