By nature of the challenge, they wouldn't really be competitive. A solution that finishes in the lifetime of the universe would likely be much longer than a fast one

A 50/50 mix of two things doesn't seem like the most bizarre taste--particularly not when the two things are both subgenres of pop music. Get back to me when you have a teacher who plays Gregorian chant and gangsta rap. :D
