title: Programming Contests (with prizes)
body: <p>I've had a go at solving the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternity_puzzle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Eternity puzzle</a> (1,000,000 GBP prize) and <a href="http://www.netflixprize.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Netflix Prize</a> ($1,000,000) in the past. I didn't win either, but they motivated me to find out about a new area. </p>
  
  <p>What other contests with prizes do you know about / have competed in yourself?</p>
