[RCSE] Monkeying with Contest Tasks.

[Chuck Anderson]

I see we are in for another round of proposals to improve the tasks flown 
in contests.  So far, I haven't seen anything that hasn't been tried at 
least once in the last 30 years.  Usually, someone becomes unhappy with 
whatever is giving them trouble at contests and sets out to improve the 
system by remove whatever is causing them trouble.  Reminds me of something 
that I saw almost 30 years ago.  A CD was unhappy with Triathalon because 
he was always landing on the odd minutes losing all precision scores.  He 
decided to run a contest with his version of Triathalon where maximum 
scores are achieved by landing on odd minutes.  Of course everybody knows 
what happened.  He landed on the even minutes every round.
