The prize should go to the person who comes fourth, not top three. It will increase the mathematical thinking of contestants and well-wishers. Even the gaming of the system would have to be calculative so as not to overshoot oneself to top three. Moreover, I think it will foster camaraderie among the writers by mutually liking one another’s post- which at the moment might have been intuitively restricted for it may help your nemesis leap forward. Not to mention the hilarity that ensues !

P.S. I have twenty sockpuppet accounts. If anyone needs a little help, please send me your offer – both cash and kind accepted!
