That's an interesting idea.  I wonder how the randomization would be
handled to ensure fairness?

I like the idea, and curious whether it wouldn't solve your #10 problem. "Sure, I didn't do a lot, but I WON" type of thing. Solves the imposture problem in an interesting way. I don't think that we need Vegas quality randomization, I think the RAND() function from somone's spreadsheet would be totally adequate :-)
