The problem with discussing this topic is that any sceptical comment is
disparaged as begrudgery.

Even Irish Times writer Karlin (spelling?) Lillington was scathing in
her dismissal of comments on the lack of info on the project.

The project was submitted to the European Science Contest in (I think)
Hungary in 2003.

It didn't feature in the list of prizewinners AFAIK but it would be
interesting to read the international judges' opinion of the project.
