Re: DARPA Network Challenge Win $40K
It didn't necessarily have to be sad. If you reported a balloon you got $2,000 bucks, and if you referred a balloon reporter you got $1,000 bucks, and if you referred the referrer of the reporter you still got $500 bucks, so on and so forth. Pretty neat idea, obviously effective.

Re: DARPA Network Challenge Win $40K
Yeah, if everyone was referred down the chain completely, $37500 goes to the people who found the balloons, and $2500 goes to charity. MIT just provided the website for 10 groups of people to meet up.
