Logically speaking, I vote for J: Black Shirt Guy. Design Pattern is definitely a mission critical task and its a kind of mechanism or logical path, how to bring down the conceptual structure to conventional language. Only experienced people can share their technics as to how the good design patterns looks. See this Black Shirt Guy how happy and relaxed hands free pose. He knows the Design Pattern inside technics of HF-DP book, he found the solution for his problem. Study the HF-DP book, you will also feel happy as good as this Black Shirt Guy.
