One thing that amazes me is that anyone could come up with this trick. It either required a desperate attempt at anything that would work, or accidental finding (skip n where n was zero and look ma no hands and it works), or a hint from the then Fox team.

Just trying to imagine how this one was unearthed brings up a lot of memories of similar attempts :).
