Indeed, for this excercise I think I settled on this version (which omits
ngIq) for the whole promo text. Even after re-reading mayqel's thread and this
one a few times, I'm /still/ not clear how to use ngIq for my own purposes
yet.

The facebook group has multiple possible translations of the last bit, and I
just chose the shortest version of my own attempt. Replacing with a
superlative construction moves it closer to an exact translation but increases
the compexity a bit more.
