What? So it's basically like those stupid 'contests' where you do work for free and then only the possibility of a job? I can't believe even the government is pulling that kind of bullshit now.
lol, it does sound scammy. I gota say though. Such contests are how codebreakers are found. The CIA and many others do it also. Codebreaking is a special field in espionage. You can't make codebreakers you must go out and find them.
