48h Mobile App Challenge

Hi guys.

I'm presently in a big mobile project as we speack. We're 2 guys in the team - 2 business man- and we're looking for a GREAT mobile dev.

To find our man/woman, i'm going to organise a 48h challenge, which basically consist of building the craziest app in 48h, a little bit like in the movie ''Social Network''. That way, we'll be able to see who got the best skills. The winner of the challenge will get a free Ipad. Of course, we will provide beers and pizzas for everyone.

Benefit for me :

finding the dev I need
building my network

Benefts for dev :

Having the opportunity to get in a freekin big project
Building their own network
Having the opportunity to show who's got the biggest balls


Now i've got a few questions for some of you guys.

1. Is 48h enough to build something decent? (remember that i'm the worst techy guy ever, so I dont know much concerning that)

2. Have you ever participated in that kind of event ? It could be as promoter or as a dev

3. If so, what did you like/ did you not like ?

4. How many hours straight could a dev work?

5. Except a good internet connection, beers and pizza, what else do I need in term of materials ?

6. I want to announce that the apps created will remain my property. What do you think about that ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thought guys.

Best regards,
