Calum's stationary box will do well, if he can give out just a few (one or two)
blocks.

Here's hoping.  My greatest fear is how reliable the firing and turning

Not if no one's moving.  It's a prisoner's dilemma, if everyone is selfish, then
no one will win with that strategy.  I figured I'd jump the gun three weeks out

I think what would be even neater would be to rerun this contest again in a few
