Well here's my attempt. 2 minutes is a -very- short time! Your effort is
most impressive. I might have another go later, I think I didn't think it
through well enough before I started.

Well I managed to do a render within the time, but it was at a wierd
resolution so I then did another render without changing the source.

Is that two minutes just for the process of implementing
the scene, or should the whole idea what to do and how to
do it be developed within that 2min?

3 min. 45 sec.  Because I had to change the camera's position a few times.

I think I'll enter it in the IRTC.  ;P

Well here's my attempt. It took me several attempts (each time starting 
from scratch) to get anything that would even run. I'll now try Rafal's 5 
minute version and see if I can produce anything a bit better. On another 
note, I ended up taking a few seconds longer because I realized my camera 
was broken after I started the final (and slow) render. Hehe, the render 
time was three times the creation time! ;-)

Here's the source:

global_settings{radiosity{count 300 error_bound 0.1 pretrace_start 0.08 
pretrace_end 0.02}}
sphere {0, 1000 pigment{rgb <0.3, 0.6, 1>}finish{ambient 1 diffuse 0}}
box{3*y-3, 3*y+3 clipped_by {plane{y,5}}hollow pigment{rgb 1}finish{ambient 
0}}
sphere{<2, 1, 1.5>, 1 pigment{rgb 1}finish{ambient 0}}
camera{location <-1,1,-2>look_at 0}

oops, should have made that clear, two minutes for creation, any length of
time for rendering. my example was  2mins for typing and 2m 30s for render.

Nah, I had a very definite idea of what I wanted to achieve before I sat at
the computer, and it just took a couple of minutes to type it. From there it
just seemed like a good idea for a challenge...

So heres a new set of rules:
1. Set your stopwatch to 2ish minutes
2. Type away
3. Render time not included in those 2 minutes
