[consulting] Module developer looking for subcontracting work

Here's an idea, which I'd like to run at Drupalcon SF:

Set up a small test task (designed to take 15 minutes or less for a 
skilled coder).  Invite coders to do it, watch them work, analyze their 
process, publish the results on consulting digest (methods used, time 
taken, critical paths) along with the names of those who score in the 
top 25%  (speed, method elegance, solution elegance), with $25 paid to 
the top three performers.

If you know of such a thing having already been done (so I don't need to 
do it), let me know?  If not, I would like to find a coder interested in 
this effort, to help me design and structure the test. 

I have a task in mind:  apply 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars-decode.php to the 
subject and message output of the Author Contact module 
(http://drupal.org/project/authorcontact). 

Brian, does this look like a 15-minute task to you? Would you like to 
help me develop this, and be a "co-author" of the study?

Anyone else like the idea, or know of other examples of it being done, 
or can think of other applications?  E.g. "test task of the month" for 
new coders.
