    Get paid for solving probelems

    Found this interesting website called Innocentive. On it, people or companies post problems for which they are seeking novel solutions. People who are registered as solvers then propose solutions to the problems. If a solver's solution is accepted then a fee is paid.

    Many of the solutions require advanced technical knowledge, but some do not.

    Payments range significantly - many are for $10,000.00 - there is a least one for a cool million bucks. People who refer others also get money ( so please don't forget to mention me when you win the mil !).

    Since many of the people on the forum have backgrounds in the sciences, engineering etc. or are just creative thinkers, I thought it might be a good site to know about.

    We all have ideas to common and uncommon situations and problems all the time. Never know, might find one that is $10,000 and post a solution, it gets picked, and then your $10,000 richer.

    Awesome job finding the site
