Talk about weenie prizes... FB is valued at how many $Billion? And they are offering less than $10K in total prizes split between the top 325 suckers, (um, err.. "hackers").

This was my reaction exactly. I mean really, only five grand for top prize? I would think at least 5 to 10 times that, though I'm guessing Mark does not want to hand out lots of massive raises to existing employees (who already compete in similar hackathons during spare/dull times at the company) or something...
I see you can "warm-up" with some example puzzles. [facebook.com]
Found "Hoppity Hop!" to be extremely simple, is just an hors d'oeuvre of course, and is exactly modeled after (verbal) drinking game we played in high school which we called "biz-buzz" and I said was too easy so modified to "biz-buzz-booze" with "booze" as multiples of 7. Ahh, takes me back...
