There was a “Literature” competition, an “Architecture” competition, an “Epic” competition and my favorite, a medal competition for “Town Planning.”
Among other Art competitions was a “Painting” competition, which garnered Ryuji Fujita a bronze medal for his work *Ice Hockey * at the 1936 games in Berlin.
When I think of the ratings NBC is missing for not being able to broadcast an Olympic “Engravings and Etchings” match in the next Summer Olympics, I feel very bad.
Nice. I did know that early modern Olympics had some events we find strange today (probably no stranger than they would find some of the Winter events today!) but it was really Quartz’s idea that got me there.
**John and Susan have something in common that is very rare. For a long time, no one could figure out why/how they both had it. In the end, it was discovered it all has to do with a certain toy they both had as a child. What do they have and what is the toy?
**
Did *everyone *with the toy develop the same trait? If not everyone, then:
most people?
about half?
less than half?
a few?
a tiny minority ?
just John and Susan and nobody else?
Is the toy electronic?
Does it have moving parts?
Was it intended as an educational toy?
Does it have many separate pieces? (Such as a jigsaw puzzle, or Lego bricks)
Does the toy have a human voice? (Or a reasonable simulation of one)
Is it a jigsaw puzzle?
Is it Lego?
Is it Mechano?
Is it something similar to Lego/ Mechano, where you can build many different objects with the pieces?
