Scavenger Hunt

1. No, this reporter had never personally heard of a carillon. However, we (our group of three from class) found out that it is a musical instrument set of bells that are usually associated with a bell tower. Likewise, we found that a cariloneur is the player of a carillon, an instrumentalist if you will. Yes, UNH has a carillon and it is located in Thompson Hall but used to be operated out of the Alumni Building. The cariloneurs are named Guy Eaton and Peter Erquhart. Eaton currently oversees the entire carillon system/processes and Peter Erquhart programs music.  According to Karen Gilbert, the bells are now simply a recording.

2. Our group could not find anyone who ran in the Boston Marathon. A few administration employees said they knew of a few people who were there but no one specifically running in the race.

3. Moreover, our group could not find an exact number of dogs registered to the Town of Durham in 2012. The number associated with the registration was manned by a robot and we could not come in contact with anyone to answer our questions.

4. The wind tunnel on the UNH campus is 20 feet wide, 8 feet high, and 236 feet long. It is located in the Flow Physics Facility which is next to the Campus Police building. We could not find the longitude or latitude but an interesting fact about the facility is that it is the biggest of it's kind in the world. 

5. There are 25 flavors of ice cream at the Dairy Bar and only 3 flavors of frozen yogurt or "froyo." Diana Guy, an employee at the shop said her favorite flavor was an ice cream called Grand Central Station. However, no conclusion was reached on how the weather affects ice cream sells. 

6. According to Mary from the New Hampshire State Climate Office, the record high and low temperatures in Durham on April 17th, 2004 were 65.8 degrees fahrenheit (high) and 25.5 degrees fahrenheit (low). 

7. The Swasey swimming pool is an indoor pool located in the UNH recreation center otherwise known as 'The Field House.' We found that it is full of roughly 250,000 gallons of water; however we could not find anyone to answer our questions regarding it's temperature and a sample of water was not collected.
