Reminds me that back in high school my programming competition team won an image compression challenge by implementing RLE compression in a YUV-ish colorspace (the competition template provided colorspace transforms and we picked the one that worked best). Somehow that looked terrible but fooled the automated grading program. Another team had attempted JPEG, but they couldn't get their codec to work. They probably would have won otherwise.
