In a *very* close contest, Gareth has come out on top by the ancient and sacred
means of entering sooner than Rob. well done, young man. your reward is that
you get to host RQ124 in a manner of your choosing.
n.b. I was worried that I would have to disqualify Mark Brader from winning on
the grounds that he is either on vacation, in prison, or both. fortunately, I
didn't need to make that call.

the crown to the runner-up.
