I guess I'm a potential mentor for the second task.
But frankly, when I read the rules of the contest, I'm losing any
motivation for it:
The Contest is not open to residents of Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea,
Sudan, Myanmar (Burma), Quebec, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Italy or to other
individuals restricted by U.S. export...

I understand Google might be subject to US laws, but then, do without
