Good question.
The formatting didn't bother me a whole lot since I did what I usually do with this type of question. I ran along comparing them line by line to see what the differences were. Once I knew what the differences were I knew what columns you were testing on and could easily go from there. I never really tried to interpret the queries as a whole.
I do love system table questions though. Always a lot of fun.
