Okay, I just have to do this.
Blaise Euler lost employment in ORP due to somebody seeking a word based magic.
Euler's Day off (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_Day_Off_(game)) is a game where you search for words.
I say we play a game, and reward like 25 EP to the winner, 10 to second, and 5 to all participants beyond that.
Sound like an idea?

Wait, isn't that Boggle? Explain to me how it differs from Boggle, or whether it's really the same game, and I'll be ready to play.

In Boggle, you're finding words in a random configuration of letters. In Eulers, you configure the letters to make words.

So you're allowed to rearrange the letters within each column, and within each row, to create words of up to five letters?

Yeah, I give the contestants twenty five letters, and the contestants place those in a 5x5 grid, however they like, using each letter exactly once, to try and make words. 5 letter words are the most important, since they break wordcount ties.
