I've written code to solve a rubics cube and I doubt it could be done in an hour or 2. Maybe a challenge to see how many words can be found in a given array of letters (maybe 100,000 x 100,000) using a given "dictionary" file of valid words. Reading in a flat file and finding words in an array is trivial but leaves huge room for improved algorithms.

The challenge is to choose a non-trivial problem that is solvable within the limits of the competition. So whatever is chosen, we have to know that it can be solved within the bounds of the competition.

That wouldn't be a fair challenge. Too many existing open source projects for Rubik's Cube. I think an algorithm approach for "something so unusual that it wouldn't exist" challenge is a much better approach to a fair contest.

Rubrics cube? That's ambitious, I am hoping for something more along the lines of a fizz-buzz algorithm...
