The thing is, it might be hard to do(possibly even unfeasible) but it would be like that "eat the 5 pound steak and get it free" deal at restaurants. Sure, you really can't do it, but people might try to, and if the prize was pretty spiffy, word might spread. I don't think I've heard of another con with anything similar.

Yes, Hugh suggested something very similar. Not a bad idea -- just 
that the implementation has to be thought through.
