Google-Sponsored 2004 US Puzzle Championship

kublai kahn writes "On the NPR Weekend Edition Sunday puzzle segment this past weekend, Will Shortz mentioned the 2004 US Puzzle Championship, sponsored by Google. Registration closes on Thursday 17 June, and the competition is conducted online on Saturday 19 June. "The top two US contestants will be selected to join the US Team at the World Puzzle Championship in Opatija, Croatia. Prizes will be awards to the top US contestants." (This was mentioned on Slashdot last year as well.) I'll be away from my internet connection over the weekend, but perhaps others from the Slashdot crowd can compete. Check the practice test to see if it's your cup of tea."

I got a puzzle for the puzzlers..

.. how to keep your site up during a slashdotting.

I have no idea what sort of puzzles this is... mind games, logic puzzles, rubix style or the good old edge-less 10000 piece jigsaw of jellybeans.

I, for one, was always shit at the rubix cube.

And I suck at chess for that matter.

And my 3 year old sister whips my arse at snap.

About the only thing I do win in Scrabble against my girlfriend, but as she's not a native english speaker, I may have an unfair advantage.
