Why would you want to apply for that many startups, simultaneously? Seems to me like they would all be working with wildly different technology solving wildly different problems...

I don't know about you, but I want people excited working with me.

To answer your first point: Our contest will cover different areas of problems, and certain companies will only be available for application if specific questions types are answered.

One of the main appeals for CodeSprint is that you don't have to work on the same puzzle twice. A lot of companies now have a FizzBuzz-style filter, and we're trying to make it so you have to FizzBuzz only once.
