    They should have painted flames on them. That way i could have made a "great balls of fire" reference. oh well.

    Team DeciNena (think of the 80's song about 99 Red Balloons) is one of the best-organized and fastest growing, and we are now incorporating other teams into our web site and recruiting teams to join us if they feel they are too small to compete alone.

    We are offering to share part of the prize money with all particpants who are active on Dec 5th, not JUST the actual balloon finder (who will receive a larger reward).

    Join us, and tell all your friends. That's what the whole goal of the challenge is -- to build large teams quickly.

    @decinena: When you say reward, what does that mean? The total prize for the team is $40000. How much of that goes to the balloon finders and how much of that goes to the other random people who just joined the team. (How many members are there currently?)

    @njdevil: Oh, they do.

    The bigger question is, what the hell do I now do with 8 kids. I'll take the $40000 but now I'm stuck with 8 kids. What are kids going for on eBay these days?
