    WTF?

    Right at the top of the page it says:
    "The source code has not been released yet. The winners will be notified by EMail soon. They will be given a chance to review the write-up of their entry. Once this process is complete the source code will be made available on the winning entries web page. We anticipate that this will be in mid-December."
    Can I buy some pot from these moderators and the parent poster?

    True, they do propose a time at which they WILL give us the source, but it's still a nasty, nasty tease. I kind of expected to be able to see the code. "Free donuts in the break room." (minutes pass) "I see no donuts." "I didn't mean *right now*!"

    The source code is usually published a month or two after the winners are announced. I dont know why, but this is typical.

    Dont worry, most of us wont be able to read the source code anyway.

    Slicing through an entry's veil of obfuscation and peering inside is truly a challenge--and far more fun than most crosswords. If you haven't tried, I highly recommend it.

    You know a server is slashdotted when it takes 10 minutes to load an empty file.
