I wonder how long it will take before NIH, (Not Invented Here), syndrome shows up especially if it impacts the receipt of grant money?

Game players are by their nature problem solvers. They generally have a good inate understanding of probabilities and math structures.
If they play specific genres of video games, they also have advanced spatial-relational understandings and intuitive skills.

This is Nobel Prize material. This is a big shift in problem solving. Throw in a cash prize for correct structures and watch the time for solving come down to days/hours......

According to Popovic, "Foldit shows that a game can turn novices into domain experts capable of producing first-class scientific discoveries. We are currently applying the same approach to change the way math and science are taught in school."Of at least tangential interest, I presume . . .

And we had REAL music!

Except that many of the gamers who worked on this are scientists.
This is just another example of the human collective’s intellectual power.
