That's great.

Given the popularity of Math projects, you might wish to consider not 
making public the test until applications have closed. That might let 
you issue the same test to all safely. If so, simply say on the ideas 
page that a test will be issued of X hours estimated duration once 
GSoC student applications have closed.

Thanks Karsten.
