The answer is yes..... but... Yeah, there are buts. Firstly, you need a good team; one with team members who listen to everyone's opinion and do not argue.
Secondly, it is really important to give tasks to each team member. During the three NBT Treasure Hunts, I was appointed as the driver (well, probably because the car was mine!). As a driver, my main tasks were to follow the navigator's instruction and to watch out for those tulips (tulips being the markers/milestones that indicated where each treasure would be located). Being the driver, you would have to watch your odometer too, as it would be really easy to miss the treasures and you would have to turn back and look for them again, thus wasting precious time. Even if you are only appointed as the driver, if you are good and sharp-eyed, you could also help to look for the treasures (and I did contribute some!).
It is also important to keep things light-hearted and cool, especially towards the end of the treasure hunt, when you start to get tired as you would start really early in the morning. At this time, having arguments would be the last thing that you needed.
I do not think you need to do a lot of homework before the Treasure Hunt. One important thing to remember is that you must not think literally when you try to solve the questions. More often than not, you would have to think out of the box and sometimes the answers just do not make any sense.
Probably, being a VM helped too! So did having three brainies in the teams. In 2006 and 2007, my three team mates were doctors. (Sorry, Jest!)
So see you at this year's NBT Treasure Hunt!
P.s. This post is dedicated to the two teams that I was part of and both times we were the second runner-up.
2006: Anny, Tat, Me, Amri
2007: Kwang, Tat, Me, Ady

No worries mate. Are you joining the next one?
Insya Allah....
We might re-organise the teams this year. Apparent--ly the team members from the last two years are hot properties now.
