Fantastic Cover Colouring Contest

The submissions to Issue 3's cover colouring contest are in and we have a winner! The overwhelming theme was simply to colour the big CS pink, which came as a surprise to one and all. "I thought somebody would paint it black. Ya! Woo! Paint it Black!! gob rulez!!!" said one mathNEWS writer. "I'm actually surprised that only half the people who submitted surrounded the CS with pretty red hearts," said another, "But it's interesting that the other half used at least two colours on theirs." The one really surprising submission came complete with coloured lawn and pansy-assed daffodils, plus an obscene message for innocent mathNEWS article writer Kev(o). "That's just wrong!" he exclaimed.

When both renditions were scrutinized, it was determined that the uni-coloured one should definitely not win because it was uncreative. However, the other was cruel to poor Kev, so it couldn't win. Thus, I won because I came to production night. The lesson: Don't submit to anything besides the sQUIZ, the crossword, and maybe the will of some of the writers. Rock on.
