    Basically, NASA is offering cash for anybody, or a group, smart enough to improve their FUN3D software, which is used to simulate fluid dynamics. So they're offering 15,000 and $10,000 prizes to the top two contributors of code optimizations, and is also offering another bounty for more general optimization suggestions.

    I misread the title as booty. It could be a better reward tbh.

    We should create a real life adventure guild and let all these big companies post quest in it. That way all us ordinary people can stop dreaming about getting a job and focus on solving quests!

    Post your challenges here~ (if it has something to do with technology or programming)
    But it's not really "challenging other people" it's more of "crowdsourcing".
    crowd·sourc·ing
    ˈkroudˌsôrsiNG/
    noun
    1. the practice of obtaining information or input into a task or project by enlisting the services of a large number of people, either paid or unpaid, typically via the Internet.
      "crowdsourcing is less expensive than hiring a professional translator"

    I'm only an F class programmer so this quest is too high leveled for me, you would probably need to be at least a
    B/A rank or maybe even a legendary S rank programmer in order to complete it.
