I got the 5 second timeouts too. Not sure about the viability of the whole game concept. I kinda like the other idea in this thread of giving both players a fixed amount of time, minute or 2, and whoever comes up with the shortest regex that solves it wins. Then you could probably populate it with random words, and let people skip ones they didn't think they could solve. You'd probably get some interesting solutions that way.
