Meta: cool, this is the most concrete case of a video being more popular than a text source I have seen (and certainly been part of involuntarily) lately.

I submitted [1] 15 hours ago, after seeing this on the ole 'Tube but wanting to avoid video and boost the competition itself rather than a particular YT channel, but that tanked.

Why would not consider the video as a medium? I've been looking for information like the one provided on the video for a long time, and because of my ignorance and bad querys didnt have much luck, thanks to the video and this thread I've found more and enough so I can start planning local competitions. All thanks to the effor Derek did.

Btw, thanks for the wikipedia link I'll read it now :)


Arguably, the video provides more information, and is more entertaining.
