Just curious! It was a wrench, but I had to choose 25-11.

Just love 10/10 ....

Would be better to have 2 or 3 votes, though.

Yeah- I meant to allow 5 votes, but the poll didn't turn out right.

The most beautiful and enchanting: 25/1 (with 10/10 and 10/11 as close contenders)
The most powerful: 25/11 (with 25/12 and 10/4 as close contenders)
The most joyful and exuberant: 10/8 (with 10/5, 25/8 and 25/9 as contenders)
