We want more such contests. At least twice every month. I would suggest to keep the prize money as low as possible ( or better eliminate it all together ). Bragging rights is all that one should get for doing well in these contests.

Yes. Let’s have more such contests. Setting problems for such contests is also not hard (considering we need only medium and high mediums and not more). So getting questions will not be as hard as that for a monthly contest (I am ready to offer some questions).
