gollark: Sadly, this challenge was far too hard for me so I didn't enter.
gollark: (it is undefined behaviour)
gollark: Yes, since zero CANNOT occur.
gollark: Oh, sure. But what I obviously* meant is that I'd make my program generate that so whoever reviews them is subject to it.
gollark: Sure, the visual processing stuff is "obviously part of my mind" and "accounts for something like a quarter of its energy requirements" and whatever, but bee it.
