Resu, you may only give a pattern up to three stars, not five. Please edit your post to correct this.

It appears to be 2026 everywhere on Earth now. I've tried running the vote-counting script, and spot-checked a few things -- seems to still be working.

No ties until 5th place this year. Here's the full output:

Code: Select all

Winner is #27 with 081 stars.


Total, Pattern #, Votes
081, #27, 3, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3
077, #02, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2
074, #33, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3
