CERN's computer security officer, Stefan Lüders, has a secret treat for nerds. Just before Google Street View came to visit, he and his crew hid Lego figurines all over the computing center.

There are a total of 20 of them, and they include aliens, a leprechaun, and a pharaoh. They are now hidden in Google Street View.

CERN is sponsoring a scavenger hunt. You have to find at least 3 Lego figures and send them over to TreasureHunt-ComputingCentre@cern.ch for the chance to win your gift of choice from CERN's holiday gift guide.
