Finding Waldo

[Steve Klise]

A friend of mine tweeted this amazing Stack Overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8479058/how-do-i-find-waldo-with-mathematica/8479757

It's so rad because:

1. They are using Mathematica for image processing.

2. All of the answers are super detailed.

3. They are using an expensive piece of mainly-academic software to solve a children's book.

While the top-voted solution is not bullet-proof (it is essentially
just finding the largest area with red and white stripes), check out
how concise the code is!

Functional programming FTW.
