The site doesn't seem to work very well.

I like the name but I wouldn't really call it a clone, to be a clone they need to actually be launched. They don't even have any investors now. + Kentucky? How many people would move to Kentucky for a summer to develop a web based product?

For most of Kentucky, I'd probably agree, but Lexington is actually a very nice city. I lived there for a few years while my wife was getting her PhD at UK. There is a LOT of money knocking around the area, mostly around horses, but it filters down into the entire feel of the city. UK also has a pretty vibrant tech community. Obviously it is no Boston or Palo Alto, but I'd move back there in a heart-beat.

Sounds a little suspicious --

"During the first week each participant will be oriented to their living space, office/work space, ... and reality TV crew and cameras." (emphasis added)

"reality TV crew and cameras."

I thought the rock star thing was a metaphor :D

All the tables on the actual page (http://www.sfenitydev.com/AwesomeInc/) makes me think they used Arc; talk about amateur hour! ;)

But seriously... a broken dotNuke layout in a frame? Exactly who are they trying to attract here, web developers from 1995?

You have solved the first puzzle and proven yourself worthy! Now solve the problem of finding investors for them, and you shall perhaps be accepted into the program...

This seems like a case of "Even if I win, I lose."
