a lot of different ones, who knows for sure?
This contest might be a great way to raise the bar on instruction quality. As
you say, presentation style matters a great deal here. One issue is that mine
(and some others) are optimised for printing so any electronic presentation may
not show them in the very best light, but oh well.
