Sweet.  I made another contest on codejam-devel, so people can try it out
there.  Of course we (Google) can't offer any guarantee that this will work
properly, and would recommend against following any links to
jorgestealsyourpassword.com. :-P

I just read quickly through the Rules and the Terms, and it looks like
there's nothing there preventing you from doing what you're doing -- nor
should there be.  If there is, though, we're bound by it, so you might want
to check for yourself.
