I like this kids competition better. The Stanford competition was "won" by a team that cheated. They didn't just ignore the $10, they violated the time constraint. my comment from the Stanford thread: "From my perspective, they made nothing from their two hours. The money was made by the 3 minutes in class which was not part of their 2 hour earning time." Either the "winning" Stanford team used their two hours for lining up the ad sale or executing it: the two actions did not occur in the same two hour window. If they want to count the "lining up the deal" window, then they made nothing as there was no delivery of the ad in that time frame. If they want to count the execution of the ad, well, they wouldn't have had a paying advertiser.
