   [...] That’s what [GAS] is doing — real cash prizes (along with some other stuff)  for four contestants, and a non-cash prize for two more.  The first-place winner gets over $700 in cash and prizes, with most of that being real money!  Not all of this is coming out of Kiltak’s back pocket — [GAS] recruited several sponsors to help foot the bill.  I’m really wondering why Chitika came up with exactly $271.82, though. Maybe it’s to get people like me to write about it. [...]

   Well since the contest was being held by GeeksAreSexy we thought it would only be necessary to use a number only the “true” geeks could appreciate. $271.28 is e multiplied by 100 and rounded to the nearest cent. E– also known as the limit of (1 + 1/x)^x as x goes to infinity –is one of the most wonderful constants in math. Being part of the wonderful formula: e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0. This may help explain it better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)
