Contests: Mind-Twisting Winners And Tiny Entrants

The winners have been notified and are given some time to review and amend their entries. The source code of the winning entries will be released after January 15, 2001." I think I like Don Yang's entry best -- "A program that prints a program that prints a program that prints a program that prints the second program." Huh?! Those with smaller ambitions will be pleased to know (via Virtex) that there will be a new 5k Web contest contest for 2001. "The rules? Simple. Just create a Web page or site that is no larger than 5K, including all html and graphics. Oh, and there's no server-side scripting allowed (client side scripting is OK, though). Interested? The contest officially kicks off March 1, but why wait until then?" (Last year's iteration drew some pretty wacky entries.)
