Competition Documents File Size Discrepancy

Did anyone else notice that the advertised file size for the "The Awards" document doesn't match the size of the file they downloaded? The file I downloaded is 338 KB!

I think it's funny that that's the biggest section in terms of file size. You would think that the game or robot sections would be bigger than the awards section :D

hrm thread# 3 that i post what im gonna say :D
i think these manuals are decoys
i don't know y but the file size is smaller by a big margin from where it should be (estimating at least 600 kb and up) these files contain clowns and the word troll with a bunch of empty pages in between.

now if first wanted to get really honkey donkey.. they'd have a md5 hash of the file so that people could verfiy that the file they were downloading was correct / a file from a mirror was correct. :)
