The Repurpose a Dystopia Challenge (RADC) is a reality television program in which contestants repurpose dystopias (generally making them better).
Sponsorship
The Repurpose a Dystopia Challenge is funding almost entirely (97%) by a self-perpetuating class of gnomon algorithms discovered by amateur theorist Karl Jones, with the remaining 3% funded by a permanent APTO public services grant.
RADC is one of the few reality television programs which has no transdimensional corporate sponsorship.
Examples
"Dear Diary, So glad I stole the Death Star and repurposed it as a self-sustaining eldercare retirement facility near a temperate planet with about ninety-percent Earth gravity. Life is good."

Amateur gnomon algorithm theorist Karl Jones posited a repurposed Death Star in response to a challenge on Facebook on July 7, 2020. (See Dear Diary (Death Star edition).)
Jones made several fundamental mistakes in his gnomonic algebra. However, his mistakes not only cancelled each other out (more or less) — they also triggered the emergence of a small but forceful class of previously unknown transdimensional algorithms. These algorithms today make up about 97% of the RADC's computational complexity, with the remainder provided by a grant from APTO.
