Hack, Punt, Tool is a comedic musical from MIT about the school's 'hacker' culture. (In MIT slang, a 'hacker' is someone who pulls elaborate and skilful pranks.)Billy is extremely eager to be a 'hardk0re hacker', and meets Corot, who leads a hack. Billy joins Corot's hack. The campus police, lead by Sergeant Sprinkles, declare war on the hackers after finding out about a recent hack. At the hack meeting, Billy meets the rest of the hack team, and Corot unveils the plan for the next target - something related to a dragon - to be put on top of the dome (a very visible and traditional location for hacks). The team is making good progress on the hack, but Kepler derides their work before being chased off by Corot. Billy and Tess are warned about the November Rule, which forbids their budding relationship until November. The team keeps trying to pull off their hack, with continued interference from Kepler and the CPs.The musical premiered at MIT in 2012, performed by MIT's Musial Theatre Guild. It was revived in 2017, with a (mostly) new cast. Both versions have been posted to YouTube, and the script and score have been released under a Creative Commons license.

All There in the Script: The full names of the CPs are not mentioned in dialogue, only in the script. The Hacksemble and Froshsemble are nicknames given to the hack team and the Froshes, respectively. These nicknames are only used in the script. | |

Lame Excuse | |
| Hack Punt Tool (Theatre) / int_3fb1e949 | comment |
Lame Excuse: Why Kepler won't work on the hack project - busy with schoolwork. May not be as lame, due to the course load that a student could be under. What the hack team tells the CPs when they are discovered in a room working on the parts of the hack - they claim that it's an art project, with "practical skills, like construction and electrical engineering". | |

Fantastic Measurement System | |
| Hack Punt Tool (Theatre) / int_5fc117f5 | comment |
Fantastic Measurement System: In "Distraction Tango", Electra asks the CPs to stay "fifty Smoots away". Somewhat subverted since Smoots are a joke unit of distance originated at MIT. For the curious, one Smoot is five feet eight inches, making fifty Smoots 279 feet 2 inches. | |

Piston plays football (or some other kind of contact sport with tackling). Subversion: Kepler is in computer science (or some field where compilation can take forever). | |

| Hack Punt Tool (Theatre) / int_6d57a234 | comment |
Lemony Narrator: Story Jack is definitely on the side of the hackers, and may even be a minor character, one of the hack team, reminiscing about past adventures, since the character wanders from one side of the Fourth Wall to the other very often. Story Jack gets caught by one of the CPs at the end of "Distraction Tango". | |

The Triple: The escalating levels of punishment from the Novembat for forbidden relationships. First, you get long printer queues, then you lose the ability to do integrals. Finally, you get kicked (metaphorically?) off the top of the Green Building, a tall building on campus. | |

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: After being told about the November Rule, Billy derides it, saying, "Oh, come on. It’s not like some nightmare-horror-maw creature will come and devour our bodies and feast on our entrails if we—". At this point, the hack team stares at Billy, aghast. | |

| Hack Punt Tool (Theatre) / int_c70fc0a2 | comment |
Pretentious Latin Motto: "parete legi Novembri". Supposedly the internal motto of MIT. Roughly translates to "listen to the law of November", or "obey the November Rule". | |
