Certainly not make 100% :) And not all the primitives either.

Don't try odd values or shapes with sor and lathe, unless you like to
crash pov on purpose ;)

This I did not yet know.

Try a spotlight with negative tightness or a falloff larger than the
radius. Try a dark dusty room with a black spotlight illuminaging a
julia fractal which will cast white shadows. Try...

What comes next, Ken, a patch? :)

OK, I'll bite...I bet I'll miss some of the new ones:
agate [agate_turb]
bozo
bumps
dents
crackle
granite
marble
wood
hmm...
leopard
spotted (same as bozo?)
hexegon
checker
quilted
spiral1
spiral2
ripples
radial
waves
gradient <x, y, z>
spherical_wave
box_wave
cylinder_wave ?
ramp_wave
Not sure if I got the wave forms confused with patterns types toward the
end there. How did I do?

Patterns List:
Agate Average Boxed Bozo Brick Bumps
Checker Crackle Cylindrical Dents Gradient Granite
Hexagon Leopard Mandel Marble Onion Planar
Quilted Radial Ripples Spherical Spiral1 Spiral2
Spotted Waves Wood Wrinkles
You missed wrinkles, onion, brick, mandle, hexagon, average, and ...

OK, you got me on brick, mandle, wrinkles and onion. Hexagon was a typo
and average technically isn't a pattern. Planar, boxed, cylinderical
and spherical don't work anymore, unless they work with the version
directive.

I've got the below list commented out at the top of textures.inc
for easy reference. It's easier than trying to find them all in
the documentation.
The patterens you mentioned needing the version directive I was
not aware that that was true. They are almost mandatory pattern types
for media if you want it to work correctly. I have tried many of the
original patteren types with media and the results were almost solid
with no scattering characteristics (see my recent post in the images
group - Candle flame - Help) which used radial as a pattern type.

Don't forget about triangle_wave, scallop_wave and sine_wave too.
As far as remembering them all in a test, I'll take a pass/fail instead
of letter grade please.

They don't count because they are pattern modifiers
and not pattern types.
