Hi!

Yesterday I wanted to show a friend how povray works. So I started with
reflective sphere (red) over checkered ground (green-black). He was very
impressed, so I made a simple loop and arranged 16 spheres on a circle.
Then I put a bigger chrome sphere in the middle, changed the texture of
the plane to T_Stone13 and added a sky_sphere{S_Cloud1}. He was even
more impressed! Then he said (meant as joke): "Ok, now let them jump
around the chrome sphere". I said: "OK, I'll try. And so I did. He was
going mad, and said: "OK, every second sphere shall be golden, and if
the red spheres are on the ground, the gold shall be in air and
otherwise round". So I did.

The result is quite amusing, so I'm posting it here. Have fun! Oh, and
the pov source is less than 900 bytes.
