Lot's of money to solve different challenges.  But they never mentioned the Randi Challenge for a million $ for someone to prove their paranormal claim.

But these prizes all seem to deal ...

with difficult engineering or scientific problems, not with woowoo fantasys of psychic levitation or some other conjury like talking to the dead.

Randi is offering his money for paranormal proofs so the two prize pools do not intersect any more than BigMacs at a French Restaurant. Paranormal and engineering challenges are not likely to ever have much in common.
