I’d like to thank John for putting up the prize money and just starting the prize—such things can be thankless, and as public goods one might expect them to be under-supplied. I would have worked in some of that research, but not this soon nor in as much depth.
I also appreciate the feedback he and the judges left on the SR page. Feedback is a pretty rare thing for things I write.
I’m afraid I don’t have grandiose plans for the money - $272 is earmarked for repairs to my car (in part thanks to my sister), and I already spent $70 on fish oil and vitamin D. The $40 left may enable me to finally experiment with nicotine, which ought to be interesting.
EDIT: I ordered the nicotine-water last night. Preliminary plans: using the habit-formation for exercise, spaced repetition, and n-backing.
That’s just you. Your web browser is not running Javascript, you don’t have the fonts, or something. I see the division as I wrote it in Firefox: http://i.imgur.com/c2U2R.png
I couldn’t tell from the screenshot what browser and OS you’re using but for me
(on Linux), it shows up as “100×10002” in Chrome but as a (correct) fraction in
Firefox (3.5). In both it acts like “100×10002″ in the contexts of searching
and copying/pasting.

Upvoted for putting your money to good use. I enjoy your work on nootropics and am looking forward to reading more from you.
Your website might have stripped out the division sign. I see:
Took me a sec to figure out it should be 100 x 1000 / 2.

I see the HTML source uses MathML:

Ditto—on Arch linux, chrome with javascript enabled does not work; firefox 3.6 does.
Correct. The Javascript is because apparently browsers have to be forced to render the MathML; I don’t understand the details.
Debian unstable’s Iceweasel.
I tried three browsers and in none of them did javascript make a difference. (I had both success and failure.)
(Just in case it wasn’t clear, I do have JavaScript enabled in Chrome.)
