Once again, you'll have to ask Jeff why he made the initial challenge, and why he felt compelled to bet 50 large.

The exact mechanisms to achieve the best result should be up to the contestant. That will allow competent participants to highlight strengths of their chosen tools.

That chill I just felt was a result of finally agreeing with you on something. I guess it was bound to happen.

If you perceive that certain attributes of dotNET are compelling, include them in your entry. Prove it. Don't try to build the whole contest around it.

Well, so much for agreeing with you. I find it interesting that you didn't utter a peep when Jeff made the initial challenge. I'm not trying to build the entire contest around it - I added some conditions.
