'Finish the Code' contest

An Idea that just popped into my head that would get people thinking Perl could be a 'Finish the Code' contest. Someone could enter code that is incomplete and everyone would try and finish the code, making it run the most effeciently. Whoever turns in the best code would get a certain amount of XP, but I think each entry should get at least 1 XP point.
Maybe it could be 1 XP for turning in incomplete code and/or making an entry, 5 XP for it being chosen, and 10 XP for having the best completed code.

This sounded good in my head, someone tell me if this is a good/bad idea to get the voices to shut up, please.

Thats not a bad idea. I think it would be cool if we had some sort of code contest. Either a 'complete the half baked' contest or a more defined obfuscated contest: Something where contestants submit a code restricted by number of characters and lines which does something specific (other then print JAPH).
