[R] [OFF] a data game

[Patrick Burns]

Burns Statistics recently finished the "Technical Analysis
Challenge" which was a study of the ability to tell real
stock price series from random ones.  Some people seem
to be finding it a fun game to play (including how best
to cheat).

There are 100 series of 500 points each.  Each of these
series has 4 possible extensions of 50 points each -- one
is real the other 3 are random.

On the Burns Statistic website are:
* plots of the data
* the actual data
* the answers
* the results from the few that actually made submissions
* a report on the results
* the advertisement for R related to the challenge
