This was exactly my take-away after reading through this list.

Industrial safety inspections done by robots and affordable, modern zero-energy homes are the kind of difficult real world problems that will make the world a better place when solved.

On the other hand, I don't know if glass-by-glass wine delivery or another college social network are solutions to real "problems" that needed to be solved.

Now of course, it's still early for a lot of these startups and I can be proven wrong. But the potential impact of a something like a smart oven with a companion subscription meal service seems really small compared to an idea like a marketplace for farmers in India to sell directly to institutional buyers

I wonder if an effective method would be to apply some sort of "shadowban" on the Twitter accounts instead of closing them.

This is very cool! One thing I noticed though is "a pokemon master can only have 5 pokeballs (prisons for pokemon that you can carry around)". However, (at least in the video games) a pokemon master can actually carry with him a party of 6 pokemon.

Nicely done! I've always wanted to build something like this, and have never gotten around to it. I can't imagine it would have ended up as good as this.

I agree! I'll look into adding this in eventually. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback. I have to plans to make the match ups closer (explained in my other comment to rollo_tommasi), but I like the idea of scaling the difficulty based on the score.

I plan to implement this soon. Right now each country is chosen randomly. What I have in mind is to sort the countries by population and choose the first one randomly. Then, choose a second country that is random, but within a certain distance from the first one. i.e. within 10 or 20 spots on the list. Hopefully this will ensure closer match ups.
