Quote: &quot;If you manage to develop a condom that guys won’t complain about having to wear, you will win $100,000 from the Gates Foundation ...&quot;<p>This is misleading, verging on false. What&#x27;s being offered is not a prize for a successful design, it&#x27;s a grant to support development of a promising idea. You don&#x27;t submit a finished design and wait for your $100K &quot;prize&quot;, you submit a proposal for a research program and hope it merits support.<p>In other words, it&#x27;s not a lottery, it&#x27;s science.
