I also got 48, not counting the ones mentioned below.

Well...I've done a lot of work on the scene and include file collections 
for 3.5, and I once released a macro collection, though nobody ever used 
it...

No...if I need that much control of surface features, I generally use 
isosurfaces. ;-)

I think I'll refrain from answering this one...

Nope, I stick to isosurfaces. That count? I think it should...

I've used polynomials of greater than 4th degree in isosurfaces...


Hmm...you know how to do real blurred reflection, you can get the media 
parameters right on the first try (or first few tries), you know the 
difference between using a colored transparent texture and using 
fade_color or media, you can explain why using a mesh is better than a 
union of triangles, you've run into the "patterned textures in layered 
textures" error, you've reached the depth limit in recursive macros, you 
have used the POV-Ray scene description language for purposes which have 
nothing to do with scene description...
