In summary: Today I learned that Lagrange was Italian and that he lamented the execution of Lavoisier in France during the French Revolution with the quote:"It took them only an instant to cut off this head and a hundred years might not suffice to reproduce it's...brains."

This is why I dislike competitions where we try to evaluate "the best" among people with tenths of a second differences. I'm sure there are better ways to spend our time, energy and resources.
But it's harmless. In this day and age I see this as a major advantage.
