Description

https://networkchallenge.darpa.mil/default.aspx

A contest where a person or a team of people search for ten red balloons that are 8 feet wide. Each of them are placed somewhere in the US, and are easily seen from roads, and are readily accessible. The first team to submit all the right locations wins $40K

Holy !#$@, I want to sign up!
1) Do you want to join a team, or make a new team?
a) You need a mailing address if you want to make a new team.
b) There are many available teams willing to part with some of the reward for correct locations.
i)Here are some ideas of what's out there.
2)Now go out there and find some balloons!

Now, this is something I am just publicizing here. I did not make an account. What I am trying to do here is get some people involved.

Over. See Truce's post below for the team that won.

No, check.

So its for people who already have a bank account (if you want to keep the money) or you could tell them to address it to a specific organization

I knew it was going to be fast.

It was a test of how Internet has evolved social networks.
