It's true that Treasure Hunt required players to use their brains but
it also required a good bit of physical endurance as well. I remember
the African-American team got eliminated mostly because of their lack
of physical endurance. The air force team did very well because they
had a good mix of physical ability and mental ability. On the smart
team (from MIT I think) only one player wasn't in very good shape.
