No, because someone working 40 hours a week has a large set of problems they can't solve -- e.g. anything that takes 160 man-hours to do and needs to be finished in two weeks. Someone who works insanely hard is going to be first to finish a lot of stuff, and the prize for first place can be enough to justify the cost.
