What is the Contest?
Speed Coding Contest. A time will be set when the problem will be presented. The problem can be defined by Vroom or somebody that will not participate. It should be some kind of strange unusual task. The first to get a working program submitted wins. The method does not matter. It will be interesting to see how many different responses we get.
How will entries be submitted?
Users will place there code in response to the Contest post.
How will the entries be scored?
First program that works without errors or warnings wins. Must use Strict and -w.
Who will score the entries?
Vroom or whoever starts the idea for the contest.
When/will submissions be viewable by everyone?
When they are submitted. The first working one wins, so no one can cheat because if they steal code, it's too late anyway.
