A friend and me are thinking of setting up a web site to encourage Irish school students to try a few PE problems and offering button badges to any who succeed. The plan would be that the site would do nothing more than direct people to the main PE site with a few words about how cool it is, we'd be completely clear that we didn't have any relationship with PE, we wouldn't offer help with PE problem, nor clues nor a forum, just a form for those wanting to claim their button badges. The badges would say "Project Euler" and a number. It is very unlikely this would be successful enough to cause inconvenient amounts of traffic.
I am writing here to ask if this would be alright?

Re: Encouraging Irish school students.
You will certainly not be the first one providing a link to Project Euler. And the effect of your link would be very minimal compared to some others in the past. We definitely encourage links such as the one you are proposing.
As a side note, how do you intend to check if the student has effectively succeeded? And succeeded by himself without simply copying the answer from his friend(s)?

When you assume something, you risk being wrong half the time.

We hoped that noting this possibility and asking what the point would be would be enough!
