; FOTD -- June 11, 2012 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I am currently in the process of dredging up old formulas.  I 
; have forgotten what many of them were supposed to do, and even 
; worse, I have also forgotten how to make some of them draw 
; anything at all.
; 
; Today's formula is dated 14 years ago, and its name, 'MixUp', 
; implies that it failed to do what I intended.  (If I had kept 
; notes, I would have known what it was supposed to do.)  But it 
; does draw fractals, some of which resemble those created by the 
; MandAutoCritInZ formula.  Today's image lies in one of these 
; fractals.
; 
; The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set rotated 90 degrees, with 
; the west side facing north.  A large new bay lies beyond East 
; Valley, and the whole thing is surrounded by some very distorted 
; minibrots.  The scene of today's image is on the north-pointing 
; main spike, between two large distorted minibrots.
; 
; The rating of a 7 is merely adequate.  The image as a whole is 
; eminently forgettable.  The name "The Lost Formula" refers to 
; the generating formula, which lay unused for 14 years, and 
; likely will lay unused at least 14 more.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes will pass quickly enough.
; 
; The effort of calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished 
; image on the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; A high-definition version may be accessed at:

; 
; All the back FOTD images are online at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Hazy sun, higher humidity, and a temperature of 86F 30C made 
; today a typical midsummer day here at Fractal Central.  The 
; fractal cats must have felt the humidity, for they spent the 
; afternoon stretched out on the cool tile floor.  The humans had 
; an uneventful day of it.  The next FOTD will be posted before 
; long.  Until then, take care, and be of stout heart but slim 
; body.
