	Alternative values to experiment with:

    {a: []int{4, 4, 4, 4}, b: []int{1, 3, 5, 7}},

	{a: []int{5}, b: []int{8}},
	{a: []int{6}, b: []int{3}},

	Other ideas:
	- Use Lightness instead of luminance
    - Use more pixels (difficult as we only have 3x3 thumbs right now)
	- Iterative calculation using smaller offsets for each round (current offset is +4)
