Just seeing this...in case no one could, double the amount and let me know

This is simple Computer Science, folks. Just read up on the relevant papers and applicable open source libraries and implement them. wink

Seun:
As a sequel to the signature contest, here's a more challenging contest for programmers who are true computer scientists:

Write a program that will read a sound recording (mp3 format) containing at least 10 seconds of a Nigerian politician talking, and then print "Yes" to the console if the person speaking in the sound recording is President Buhari, and "No" if the person speaking is not President Buhari.

You can use any common programming language that runs on Windows 7/8/10. Use only open source libraries that I can compile on Windows.

The prize is 50,000 naira and I will award it to the first contestant whose code achieves a high level of accuracy (~90%).

Good luck!
A noble gesture brother. This is by far better than giving a dime to that ruse of a miss Nairaland contest. grin

Craigston:

Please don't be a troll. Whether they copy codes or not, they'll have to tailor it to this problem. And the organizer can create a check for that by requiring an in-depth explanation of the logics used.
Whatever be the case, the competitors will learn something (new or not), whether it be how the already existing, copied program works or the technicalities involved in creating one themselves.
Moreover, it's not about the money: it's the spirit that drives us.
I wish I could attempt this. I'm yet a beginner in web development but I'll grow fast and continuously.
Thanks Seun; you've just given me more encouragement.
Dhtml18, cbrass, jregs, dwebdesign, kodejuice, fincoapps, thewebcraft, charleen94, gearcoin, cbtgeek, blueeyedgeek, directonpc, bowofolu, subset; do something na.

Bro. Am humbled o cheesy but am on a project now, so I won't be able to take it. Don't mind that dude making fun of us. Just as you said it's not always about money, even if you copy a code online you must know how to use it before you can implement it.

There will be just one Nigerian politician talking for 10 seconds or more in each audio clip. I'll try to minimize noise, but I can't guarantee this.
