Participants in the 22nd annual University of Chicago scavenger hunt said they had a great time traveling as far as Las Vegas to compete in the wacky event.

The event, deemed the world's largest scavenger hunt, ended Sunday, allowing nine teams to relax after four days of searching for unusual items and completing bizarre tasks at the drop of a hat, the Chicago Tribune reported.

There's a lot of brain power going into academic problems. This allows us to take another kind of brain power and put it into frivolous, trivial but completely enjoyable tasks, said David Pisano, a 21-year-old senior.

This year's hunt even involved flying a group of students to Las Vegas to seek out D list celebrities and photograph themselves with beauties competing in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Model Search Swimsuit Competition.

They're international swimsuit contestants. I had no complaints, Pisano said.
