The Internet Hunt was a monthly, online game conceived of, and conducted by Rick Gates in the pre-Web Internet. Most Internet Hunts were composed of 10 questions that Gates had verfied could be answered using only the resources of the Internet (at that time, tools like FTP, Archie, Jughead, Veronica and Gopher were used). The first individual or team to answer all 10 questions correctly and provide the method used to answer them was declared the winner(s).
The Internet Hunt ran from 1992 to 1995. It was referenced in many publications and online sites at the time. Among these are Clifford Stoll's "Silicon Snake Oil" (pp 189-190), and Wired Magazine (Issue 2.07, July, 1994, p33).
