## 5k$ for the fastest 64-bit code, deadline 10 February

[jj2007]

Not a joke:
Win 5k$ for the fastest code

In 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.

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