In summary, light sources have a high ambient, and every surface has something
like finish{ambient 0 refection{rgb 1} diffuse 0}.  Normally everything would
just look shiny, but the twelve line patch makes rays go in a random direction.
 Voila.  Path tracing (I think).  Probably not optimal with radiosity available,
but just giving it a try since it can be done.  I'll give radiosity a try.
