; FOTD -- December 09, 2013 (Rating A-6,M-8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a math special, which explains the math rating 
; of an 8.  It is also an entire parent fractal in itself, which 
; explains why the art rating is an unspectacular 6.
; 
; The entire scene has been rotated minus-90 degrees, for a 
; marginally improved composition.  The fractal actually has 
; X-axis symmetry.
; 
; The real(p2) value of 3.1439495 is not frivolous.  It is the 
; critical value at which the fractal does have X-axis symmetry.  
; The value's closeness to the number PI is purely coincidental.
; 
; The name "Cupcake Quest" refers to the two cupcake shaped buds 
; on either side of the fractal's main bay.  These buds and the 
; filaments extending from them probably hold countless minibrots 
; of all degrees of interest, but today is not the day we check 
; for them.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will cause stress for no 
; one.  Running a DOS file on some SOTA units can be quite a task 
; however.  Those with uncooperative machines may find the image 
; on the web sites.
; 
; The pre-calculated image is available online at:

; 
; Heavy clouds, melting ice and a temperature of 36F +2C defined 
; the day here at Fractal Central.  The fractal cats had a 
; reasonably uneventful day except when they inadvertently bumped 
; into each other dashing around a doorway and a little mild cat 
; profanity was exchanged.  We humans were shocked by the cat 
; language, but it was nothing we had not heard before.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in the right time.  Until 
; righteousness prevails, take care, and feel free to disagree.
