Well, a long time ago a lateral puzzles forum started and has a handful of members across Europe (notably a few Austrians) and one or two worldwide. One of those is married to the Team Unseen captain, and one year thought to invite the rest of the forum to take part. There has been some ebb and flow over time, and we've slowly got a bit more competent at using collaboration tools to make it work.
In 2008 we had a EuroMIT meetup in The Netherlands with some of the Europeans, and a few years ago I went to another near Linz where the Austrian cohort tend to gather for the event. I have been disappointed not to have been able to go since.
One of the Austrians took part on campus in 2019. I too would love to be able to one day.
We're pretty small but we ususlly don't do too badly, despite my stone frogness, but never in danger of finding the coin.
We did storm the first CiSRA hunt in 2012 though, under the name yope.
