It's about deciding what to do at each time step — run, jump, shoot etc. — based on a description of the platforms, items and enemies around Mario. This is hard. It's so hard we believe that some sort of machine learning algorithm will be necessary to reach good playing performance. But really, any approach is fair game. We welcome hard-coded submissions, commercial AI programmers, academics and amateurs alike. Whoever wins, it will be really interesting. The competition is associated with two IEEE conferences, and there are cash prizes available for the best submissions."

Just so happens, my girlfriend and I have been together and lived with each other for two years now. She might be lying but considering
A. She's hot as hell
B. I'm not exactly Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt
C. I don't have a very deep wallet =(

I'm guessing my 16cm, all-in-all pretty average self somehow manages to keep her happy ^^,

Oh, btw.. From what I know both from personal experience and what friends of both genders tell me, neither the size nor the speed matter all that much without stability, and that often comes down to skill more than tools. ;)
