 I was going to take a shot of two slugs, but according to the abc documentary last night they both have male bits.  No opposites there!

 We tested the system behind the scenes of the last comp and it worked quite well. As best as I can recall you only vote for your favourite 5 images rather than having to rank all of them and the one getting the most votes rates first in the challenge.

 A close match would be an impossible task Phillip since a much smaller sample of votes was involved, but the images that rated in the top 10 as voted by everyone also fell in those we chose. And voting was a lot easier.
