At least for knowledge that can be applied (skill or capability are perhaps better words). Are there really Emacs challenge competitions? I can't say I'm attracted to that because though I always want to do things with speed, I never want to be stressed, with deadlines, people shouting and being frustrated, etc. I'll save those juices for a real crisis (like a fire or whatever). But it would be interesting to watch if such an Emacs challenge has been recorded and made available for example on YT. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
