Just looks like a login page to me. No way to see either info on your event or your clever puzzles w/o giving up my personal info :(

From the article, I think the "remaining money" may be entirely notional. It talks about Ron Graham chipping in $5k to help cover a $10K bounty.
Besides, these days the money is mostly beside the point. It is like those Knuth reward checks, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_reward_check. In most cases, certainly the most recent $500 "happy ending" problem, the bragging rights are worth more than the money.

It would be nice to be able to move or get rid of the task completed box to review your solution and look for modifications. Then you could reset and replay. The inability to review after completing is annoying.

Meh. I have prime and keep getting $10 off coupons but here in Minneapolis I don't see anywhere I want to order from. Bitesquad has places that I order from every now and then. If Amazon had a decent network they might entice me in to becoming a restaurants customer... but as it is, it is like the crappy prime video selection.

Gleick's "The Information" and Dyson's "Turing's Cathedral" would be 2 other good pop sci books on the origins of CS.
