Interesting that CodingCrypto and hashbreaker (who tied for 2nd place but lost the coin flip) were the same team. This wasn't mentioned on the Engine Yard blog. Also, this story is cute: Paul noticed the contest and brought Dan and Tanja in - just one condition: he would get the iPhone. Sure - sufficiently unlikely to work anyway. To make it more likely and to have more fun with GPUs, Dan and Tanja brought in Bo-Yin and Doug - who might now figure out how to program in Ruby and were very busy getting all machines to work and running the code which included reconfiguring the machines Not sure why they mention Ruby because it doesn't seem to be actually used.
