Happy New Year

I know, that I'm a little bit late, but I'd like to say 'Happy New Year' to everyone who reads my blog. As a proverb says "better late than never" ;-)
I was on vacation and was hurring on the last day not to be late for the flight departure.
Now looking at holidays in the retrospective view I liked the most the following (taken from Russian forum) out of all funny queries on New Year's theme:

SQL> WITH
2 q AS (
3 SELECT
4 25-(trunc(ROWNUM/5)+1)*3 + MOD(-ROWNUM,5)*2 num
5 FROM dual
6 CONNECT BY LEVEL<=20
7 )
8 SELECT
9 substr(TRANSLATE(dbms_random.VALUE || dbms_random.VALUE, '0123456789.', '* *'), 1, num)||
10 lpad('/',(MAX(num) over ()-num+1),'/')||lpad('\',(MAX(num) over ()-num+1),'\')||
11 substr(TRANSLATE(dbms_random.VALUE || dbms_random.VALUE, '0123456789.', '* *'), 1, num) new_years_tree
12 FROM q
13 /
