30, but with some questions i had doubts about the answer (and then
answered 'no').

A lot of questions are not very good, i picked out a few of them:

This is total crap of course, esp. with Povray 3.5

Why does this qualify for a hardcore Pover?

Can you define 'modeller' please?

What is the second one?


I also have some suggestions:

* You have written isosurface functions by hand with more than X
characters (for 'X' use a reasonable value, for example 2000)

* You know the parameters of every internal function of Povray 3.5
(functions.inc) without looking it up. (that's a really hard one, maybe
just knowing every function is enough...)

* Your longest render was more than X days (X=5, 10, 20 or more)
