Title: ## 5k$ for the fastest 64-bit code, deadline 10 February
Post by: jj2007 on January 12, 2015, 01:10:22 AM
Not a joke:
Win 5k$ for the fastest code (http://churchillnavigation.com/challenge/)

QuoteIn a nutshell: We give you a bunch of ranked 2D points, then ask you to find the most important ones inside some randomly generated rectangles. Easy, right? Now make it fast, and you could get $5K!

They want a 64-bit DLL, so that's not my cup of tea. Deadline is 5pm MST on 10 February. Good luck to our champions :t

Not to discredit the contest, but sounds a lot like crowd sourcing to me.

Instead of paying someone to solve a problem, offer a prize so many people try to solve the same problem and you only pay one. :badgrin:

How to get someone to write code for you on the cheap. Seen many of these over time.
