I think that 10 positions will be a lot of work for some people. i think
that 5 position is better.

ORIGINAL is a Key word here, i think that the last year the position
dont had a lot of originalidad :((

Maybe a penalty for a position that look like other is a good idea for
control that, so the authenticate autor will maintain his positions in
secret. :)
