BOSTON --

The students of MIT have pulled off another stunning prank -- or, as they would call it, a hack.

On the Cambridge Campus on Tuesday, a giant Olympic gold medal was hung on the school's famous dome.

It seems that some members of the Torino Olympic Committee were graduates of MIT.

It wasn't quite up to par with the prank that resulted in a police car with working lights ending up on the dome a few years back, but it was a pretty impressive hack nonetheless.
