Win $40K by Finding 10 Weather Balloons
If you spot a red weather balloon floating around, take note because you're part of a social experiment being conducted by Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency). The first individual or team to locate all ten of the red weather balloons will get $40K. The contest/experiment is looking at how "information spreads and propagates and becomes viral."

The value of the contest, however, is serious business. The lessons learned from it could help Darpa understand how a social network can be used by foreign enemies to gain information, or how fast-breaking information can best be organized on the battlefield.
