The challenge currently stands at $10, a round of beer for pythonlabs/zope folks (we've not determined Guido's beer debt yet) and a cream pie at 10 paces, with a flavor of the target's choosing. (Since Guido's going to get hit with it, he should at least get to choose the flavor I'm going to lob at him. Hate to hit him with something that'll trigger allergies)
The challenge system is x86 Linux with GCC, FWIW. I have this nagging feeling we'll be able to muster something that'll run on it... :)
