Are you seeing red? Balloons, that is...

Here's an interesting contest by DARPA, celebrating the internet. Network with folks you know around the US, and see how many of the red DARPA weather balloons your network can find. The MIT team is sharing the prize, while doing an experiment, too. It's just started today, and probably won't take more than a day or two to finish, so check it out asap, if you're curious.

It might be fun...

Re: Well, DARPA has a history of fixing "competitions".

I'm not arguing that they didn't make the course easier. My problem with your comment is your incorrect assumption that the teams didn't improve things after the first race.

Did you even watch the races? The first year the vast majority of the vehicles crashed well before the course became 'difficult.'
