Beg, Borrow or Steal: Huge List of Scavenger hunt items

Ok, I didn't call it Beg, Borrow or Steal. I wanted to be a bit more politically correct, so I called it Beg:Borrow: Blackmail - B-cubed 2008. I had been wanting to conduct a scavenger hunt here in amdocs for a very long time. It finally materialized last week.
It took around a week for me to prepare the list of items for the hunt. I thought that it would be relatively easy to oraganize a scavenger hunt and didn't ask for any support in doing so. I was wrong. Throughout the 4 days which had been given to the participating teams, i had to spend at least 5 to6 hrs every day consolidating the items submitted and preparing the scores. But, it was a fun event and was received well.
Given below are some of the items on the list:

• A black teddy-bear
• A live house-fly
• A string-less tennis racquet
• A wig sewn out of biscuits
• A pack of bourbon biscuits with all the chocolate cream licked off
• A coin from a country which no longer exists
• An egg-holding apparatus capable of holding an egg unbroken even if thrown from the second floor
• A red post-it note
• A photo of 2 of the team members, fully clothed, fully wet, in the shower with the water running. Bonus points if they are hugging each other.
• A team member fully covered in post-it notes
• a team member taking a bubble bath with 5 rubber ducks floating in the tub
• A TM taking a picture of another TM taking a picture of another TM taking a picture of another TM taking a picture of a flower
• The full team wearing their clothes like superman, with you-know-what on the outside
• A video of two TMs rocking a seesaw with two children looking on
• A video of a TM proposing to a dog with a red rose in the hand and the dog should reply by barking once as if saying "yes".
• A song composed and sung by the full team about the event
• Do it like they do on the discovery channel
