Google only tells us how many slots for students we get, they don't 
care about
how we allocate them to projects. I was a mentor for two LDPC-related 
projects
last year. The projects covered the same area and we decided to split 
the work
along the lines of different encoding/decoding algorithms. I think your
proposal could be handled in a similar way.
