When I created the challenge I slipped up and checked the box "24-hour Speed Challenge" which, annoyingly, is right next to "Open Challenge". I had a confused PM waiting for me when I woke up and fixed it :-)

So people believe a wacky email over the instructions right there on the entry page?

Of course, it may prove a useful kick-start to us chronic procrastinators ... ;-)

In the very early days of DPC I was positive that Langdon was scanning my hard drive and using the best picture as the next week's topic just to frustrate me ...
