Every year I check out the ICFP problem statement to see if anyone can match the delightfulness of the ICFP 2006 Challenge (The "Cult of the Bounds Variable": http://www.boundvariable.org/ http://www.boundvariable.org/).
It looks like they may have done it this year. Seeing the images of the cards with illustrations was when I really knew this year would be special.
The only thing this lacks compared to 2006 IMO is the replayability aspect. The 2006 format is a binary image that you download and explore, and when you solve puzzles it awards you points. This is an AI that pits you against fellow competition members, which is cool but doesn't have the same exploration/discovery aspect.
