First offense hackers must spend exactly 36 hours in a room with a monitor (outside the room?) which is shadowing a really bad outsourcing intern attempting to write a ruby implementation of filtering a log file, except they really suck and a 3 line code turns into over 7000. He is also played a commentary of the person trying to figure out how to filter this particular piece of text, performance woes, etc. The hacker would be screaming "just use [^\)] omg what are you doing" but to no avail, the screams would fall on deaf ears. At the end of the 36 hrs they are asked to spend 15 minutes to fix the problem in the code and just get it working and be released or spend another 36 hrs. This will ensure the person paid attention. Also they cannot rewrite it. just fix it damnit.
