who owns that fish?
In my del.icio.us inbox I ran across a great little brainteaser from a site that I have frequented in the past from design firm Coudal Partners. The trick, which may or may not have been invented by Einstein apparently is solvable by only 2% of people. Are you in the top 2%?
Took me a little bit of time last night but I came up with the answer--and it all checks out--I didn't guess, I did all the logic and completed the grid. I didn't even use Jason Clarke's Fish Helper, although it might have been handy.
The extra cool thing is that the prize is one of the Euro live CDs from the new Dead Can Dance tour! WOOHOOO!
Coudal does the super cool jewelboxes for the Pixies and Dead Can Dance CDs and they also are creating CDs of each show for purchase afterward (not as efficient as the way They Might Be Giants lets you buy the MP3s and burn your own (plus it looks like all the DCD ones are sold out) but the package for the DCD shows are SO cool).
We have October 5 tickets to the DCD show in Boston. I can't WAIT! I am so excited about this show...have been a fan for so long and thought I would never see them since they were no more. Who would have thunk a reunion would have happened?!
Will be interesting to go and see what the crowd is like. I'm wondering if it will be a bunch of young kids who fancy themselves all goth or if it will be a bunch of former goths (they didn't have that word back then when we were growing up; we were wavers or sometimes "batcaves"). Or people who just love gorgeous music and enchanting voices? They have the best music to write to...soothing, calming, beautiful. Joe is worried that it will be "boring" as a result. Kind of how the Cocteau Twins were VERY boring when I saw them years ago--lush ethereal music but not a lot else (they also used their own made up words and language for their songs so that was odd).
Regardless, I have several things to celebrate--I'm in the top 2% (and no I'm not going to give away my answer and yes I have the work to show I know it); we're going to Dead Can Dance and thirdly that Joe is being really cool about the fact that I'm dragging him to a concert on our 5th anniversary (of meeting--which for us is our really big anniversary, more than getting married).
Oh and....it's Friday.
