Keep it going, we need a fresh veiw of this kind .But,can we branch out, to other fields? Like for instance, Metallurgy? Monotomic chemistry? Sub atomic assembly? Thanks, I hope these questions will stimulate some ones'interest,or imagination. Hello;

It goes to show that thousands of heads are better than that of hundreds of scientists maybe? Anyways, I really appreciate this project and hopefully soon enough, the AIDS riddle will be solved. It's also a good way of motivating these guys (gamers) if they offer some sort of prizes. I'm looking forward for any updates about this one. Can you guys design a game that would eventually solve other illnesses, say like cancer? -John @ the <a href="http://www.micpa.com" rel="nofollow">Chicago CPA firms club</a> blog Is still amazes me that gamers where able to solve in three weeks.
