hi,

I am a college student from India, and we are having a contest out here to develop an e-contraption(for more info click here)

Basically we are given with a start and end process(for the eliminations we have to play an MP3 file) and they want us to execute the above procedure using the maximum number of programming languages in the most complicated manner possible.

i have thought of some things like starting up in assembler, firing up a C program from it and then probably encrpyt-decrypt, compress-decompress the file, convert the file to PCM wave then spawn a VB prog which finally spawns media player and plays the file.

I wanted some more ideas about what other whacky things I could do.

Thanks,
Sahil
