In most cases, line noise is a repeating function with a frequency of
50 or 60 Hz.  To make an  effective noise blanker in a contest, you
simply have to make a filter that only responds to harmonics of the
line frequency and then generate the inverse function from a 50 or
60 Hz line clock.

Unfortunately, that's too simple. For effective cancellation, that inverse function must be precisely in phase (degrees, not polarity) and equal in amplitude at each harmonic frequency.
