Teams were challenged to analyze user-generated geo-coded data and create meaningful yet fun mash-ups within four hours. One team looked at correlations between Justin Bieber, porn and related tweets. Another categorized tweeters into subgroups like "The Hippie" and "The Foodie." A third proposed using Argentine Racing Sheep for fast peri-urban transport to bypass traffic, identifying potential markets.

2. What is Iron Sheep?
• The event seeks to mimic the format of
the “Iron Chef” television series by
challenging teams to produce
meaningful analysis and fun, evocative
mash-ups from the same sets of user-
generated, geo-coded data within a
four hour time frame.
• The goal is to provide a semi-structured
environment where participants can
socialize, work and learn in a fun yet
socially meaningful project.

Sheep as a Peri-Urban Transport
System

19. Premise
• We are exploring the possibility of riding
Argentinian Racing Sheep as a means to
bypass the gridlocks. The average speed for a
Argentinian Racing Sheep is 75 mph according
to Yahoo Answers UK and Ireland. This allows
for a quick and viable option to pass through
Los Angeles freeway’s during rush hour.
