I'd like to thank John for putting up the prize money and just starting the prize - such things can be thankless, and as public goods one might expect them to be under-supplied. I would have worked in some of that research, but not this soon nor in as much depth.

I also appreciate the feedback he and the judges left on the SR page. Feedback is a pretty rare thing for things I write.

I'm afraid I don't have grandiose plans for the money - $272 is earmarked for repairs to my car (in part thanks to my sister), and I already spent $70 on fish oil and vitamin D. The $40 left may enable me to finally experiment with nicotine, which ought to be interesting.

EDIT: I ordered the nicotine-water last night. Preliminary plans: using the habit-formation for exercise, spaced repetition, and n-backing.
