I love the image of the CIA analyst popping up over his cubicle wall going "nobody panic, we know about this" as ever other analyst in the facility fumbles to get to the red phone.A scenario I sometimes wonder about is a conversation between no such agency and the ghost of Alan Turing that goes like this:Dr Turing's ghost, we've got this molecular-perfect crystal of gallium arsenide the size of a dinner plate (at some staggering cost to the space program), an experimental electron beam lithography apparatus able to draw a million logic units per day (the anti-vibration table alone is staffed with a team of twenty full time Black Mesa technicians), and more liquid gas than NASA.
What kind of pretty picture do you think you could draw on this thing given a few months to think about it, and a year for the etching?The one question I've most wanted to find out is this: what was the state of the art in 1970 for one-off half billion dollar chips?
Lightening rarely strikes twice, and 99 times out of a hundred you never find out.</sentencetext>

If you have a satellite camera, you could open a website,"FindDarpaBallons.com" and pay people who find the balloons 500$ each to report them to you.  Then just use your Satellite to confirm it.  Send in to Darpa, make 40k, pay out 5k, and be up 35k.</htmltext>

i want to collaborate with others from around the US to win this as a team!
if we get together as a team, then we split the prize amongst us all.
i'm thinking that only the team members who contribute the coordinates would be in the pool,
but there could be a dozen team members who found that particular ballloon- that's only fair!
maybe this would be a great way to make friends and a small amount of cash!
email me if you want to join up! and no if i end up winning then i won't be a jerk
and not share the wealth. i just have these morals and an ethical compass that
some have never heard anything about. it's a matter of trust!</htmltext>

	<htmltext>The average person may think that $40,000 is a lot... but it's nothing in terms of operating budgets for even medium sized companies.

From the Darpa site, looking at their unclassified budget for 2010 ( <a href="http://www.darpa.mil/Docs/2010PBDARPAMay2009.pdf" title="darpa.mil">http://www.darpa.mil/Docs/2010PBDARPAMay2009.pdf</a> [darpa.mil] ) (That's a PDF, by the way, and also has numbers for 2009 and 2008), you can see that the budget easily runs into the billions of dollars.

For a comparison, forty thousand dollars is 0.004 PERCENT of one billion dollars.  To someone with a salary of seventy five thousand dollars a year, the equivalent percentage would be 3 dollars.  That's barely pocket change, and it assumes a budget much lower than the actual operating budget of DARPA.  Taking this into consideration, that's pretty cheap.  Especially if they're planning to study anything by doing this (and if you think they wont get SOMETHING useful out of this, then you're even denser than I am), that's a relative bargain.  Even if they DON'T get anything worthwhile out of this contest, the publicity alone is probably worth it when you consider possible recruits that they attract because of increased interest.

Your claim that they are 'wasting taxpayer money' is pure FUD, and, to be honest, even if it wasn't, $40k isn't even a drop in the bucket of the 2.3 TRILLION dollars that was collected in taxes in 2008.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Dear Sir or Madam,
I have recently come into possession of a number of very valuable red balloons.  I am connected to the super secret US spy agency DRUPA and for obvious reasons I must act with extreme discretion and stealth.  These balloons were left to me by my great uncle who unfortunately passed away without leaving any heirs and he left strict instructions for their disposal.  I will be placing the balloons at various locations where ordinary passersby would not think to note their presence.  However, if you can find one of these balloons and report it to me, I will pay you a generous commission of USD 1,000.00.<p>
Because these balloons are very much sought after and valuable to all persons, I expect them to be in high demand.  In order to ensure that you are treated with the utmost fairness, please submit your bank details to my agent, the Honorable Great Mucky Muck, Esquire, 3rd underpass from the swamp, Lagos, Nigeria and he will ensure that you receive your rightful due.</p><p>
I trust that God and Jesus will bless your efforts and reward you in heaven for your good deeds.  The proceeds will go to my new orphanage to be established in an undisclosed location.  We are currently recruiting orphans for this project.  If you know of any orphans or are willing to become an orphan, also please send your bank details to Mr. Muck.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>Unless a technological approach using sattellites,  automated analysis of flikr photos etc.. quickly wins out then presumably the ballons will end up being seen by some people aware of the contest.  So suppose you have seen a balloon and wish to use that knowledge to claim part of the prize.  What do you do?
<br> <br>
Well what you want to do is find a group of other people who have located the other balloons and agree to pool your info in exchange for shares of the prize.  Importantly <b>nothing in the rules prevents you from drawing up legal contracts with other participants</b> and if you are clever you might even be able to make delibrately feeding you false information into criminal fraud.  So it seems straightforward to ensure there are big incentives to only agree to join such a coalition if you do indeed have valid data.  Moreover, your claimed data can be verified relatively quickly for low cost by paying close friends and associates who live nearby to go out and check.
<br> <br>
In short it seems to me the optimal strategy is simply to hope you stumble upon a balloon and then creating a legally binding contract with others who claim to have complimentary information.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I bet it's a social experiment, not tech.  There are all sorts of obvious ways to get people to work together, but how can you eliminate bad actors and false data?<br> <br>

If you have a central clearing house, the data can be stolen by others.  If the submitted data is kept private, then the participants need to have a high level of trust in the central organizers.  You also need to be resistant to spoofing from other parties, including potentially organized efforts by other groups trying to win the prize.<br> <br>

My best idea would be that the contest needs to be taken up by a web site that already has a large web of trust; large enough that they can be trusted, and that they can get enough data that anomalies and deception become evident.  The prize money could be redistributed among the first N people that accurately reported a balloon... or, a lottery could divide the prize among N number of people who submitted accurate information.  The second makes more sense to me.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I think the best way to attack this problem would be to agree to donate the profits from the award to some worthy cause, letting people with the capability volunteer some time to a solution.   Its a fairly complicated problem to solve for the amount of money given to solve it.

Lets say a group of capable programmers united for lets say an open source project develop a website that takes in the coordinates in the format required for the contest.  The trick is going to be figuring out who is telling the truth when it comes to submitted data...   You may be able to assume that if a number set is entered often that it is a candidate to be the real location.  The task obviously requires coordination of many life humans as I doubt anyone that can compete has access to satellite time to do an automated search.

I am wondering how many people will attempt to put up fake balloon sites to either trick their competition or just get some publicity of tech people to come visit the site and take a GPS reading.</htmltext>

I am wondering how many people will attempt to put up fake balloon sites to either trick their competition or just get some publicity of tech people to come visit the site and take a GPS reading .</tokentext>
<sentencetext>I think the best way to attack this problem would be to agree to donate the profits from the award to some worthy cause, letting people with the capability volunteer some time to a solution.
Its a fairly complicated problem to solve for the amount of money given to solve it.
Lets say a group of capable programmers united for lets say an open source project develop a website that takes in the coordinates in the format required for the contest.
