If you rotate them through different times, then I'd be able to compete in a third of them. This way, I get to compete in all of them. Of course I don't want to miss out on 2/3 of all contests. Sure.

In fact the more critical it is, the more it lets us know where to improve. They can never be futile. :-) And we really appreciate the effort you have taken to press forward your point. <br><br>We realize and have been telling you too that there has been a compelling need for the shorter versions of the contest. They provide a different set of challenges which the longer format does not. <br><br>Also, we need to understand that to conduct the same there are separate set of challenges for us too. And we need to prepare for that, which in turn takes time. Right now we have quite a few things to iron out but we do have that point in our To-do list. <br><br>Can only request you to not loose faith in us. Bear with us for some more time. Dogmatism is the last thing that can take us to where we want to go and that is where you all want us to see :-). Hey Pankaj,
