There are SQL challenges posted to the list periodically. Does that count? :)

I was just reading on CF-Talk where someone was looking for a function
that would turn a number (i.e. 125) into its equivalent text (i.e. one
hundred and twenty five). Then some other guy responded with a solution,
and mentioned that he wrote it as part of a code challenge for his local
CFUG. Which got me to wondering if our CFUG has ever had some sort of
official coding challenge. I remember a while back on the list when
someone (can't remember who) posed a problem and the rest of us tried to
come up with the most "elegant" solution. That was fun, as I recall.
So, would there be any interest in having some sort of monthly code
challenge? Perhaps it would be announced at the meeting and then folks
would be able to show their working code at the next meeting. That might
be an incentive to come to the meetings. Or it could be done via the
list. However, I think announcing it at the meeting and then seeing
solutions at the next meeting is nice because it would give entrants
into the contest a whole month to think on the challenge. Thus the
challenges could be something more difficult or at least something that
would take more time.
Or what if the challenge was announced at the meeting (or on the list,
but still on the day of the meeting), and then valid or winning (not
sure how to define 'winning') solutions would be shown on a special page
on the DFWCFUG website.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Chris
