The story about the McDonalds drawing is true -- I was a student at Caltech
at the time this happened (as were the perpetrators).  The other
interesting thing about the event was that far, far fewer than 1/3 of the
prizes were won by the students who did this.  The cost of the computer and
printer time was also such that it would have been cheaper to go to a print
shop to make the copies.

You'll notice that all drawings since then have the condition "Mechanically
produced entries are not acceptable".  What about getting cheap 3rd world
labor to copy entries?
