FOTD -- May 04, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quick-to-finish image is a scene in one of the parent fractals that results when the expression Z^(1.5)+C is iterated a whopping 439.5 levels down the hyperladder. For some reason unknown even to myself, I used the older MandelbrotBC2 formula to find the image. This parent consists of a large irregular bay vaguely resembling a strange automobile with two large front wheels and no rear wheels. The heads of two people can also be seen in the image, formed by the two large buds. Today's scene is located in the debris on the northern shore line of the large bay. In my opinion, the art aspect of the image is worth a 7, while the math aspect earns no more than a 6. The name "Sandy Spectacle" points to the large areas of sandy chaos that fill the scene. The calculation time of one brief minute should do away with fractal boredom, while the web sites can do away with the calculation chore entirely.

With ample food in their dishes, the fractal cats wanted little more however. The fractal humans had a rather slow day. Until next time, take care, and at what point does mass-media news become propaganda only roughly based on fact?
