[leelaht]

I wonder if any llamas or Mayans made it to

El Yunque

in Puerto Rico

[Randi]

or to

Ueda

Japan

[EShane]

Dare

I ask if anyone can play this game?

[pommystuart]

We would be

really

please if you continued to play.

[leelaht]

If you go AWOL I promise we won't track you down and

lynch

you.

[jil]

A new player is always greeted with a loud

cheer

Horray!

[pommystuart]

We also promise not to use an

ergograph

to check on how much effort you put into transcribing.

AI overview
{An ergograph is a device that measures muscle exertion or a graph that shows the relationship between human activities and a seasonal year.}

(Notice, we like fancy words.)

[leelaht]

Phancy

that.

AI Overview
"Phancy" is an obsolete form of the word "fancy". "Fancy" has multiple meanings, including a liking, an image, or a type of imagination.

[Randi]

Well, maybe some day it will come back into use. Fashion can be

cyclical

[leelaht]

I'd love to know if there is an AI

algorithm

that can pick the next fashion trend. But it might be too hard.

[EShane]

Hmm

It's not really clear where to go from here.

[EShane]

And so I don't completely kill the streak we'd to learn a new language (but unfortunately all I found was a dead one)

Mmani

A moribund Niger-Congo language spoken near the border between Guinea and Sierra Leone

[pommystuart]

Thats one of the

niceties

of this game you can change the theme any time you want.

[leelaht]

the way the topics flow and merge and even cross with the anagram word game, it's a lot like an

Escher

artwork.

Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who made woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints, many of which were inspired by mathematics. Despite wide popular interest, for most of his life Escher was neglected in the art world, even in his native Netherlands. He was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. Wikipedia

[EShane]

As a child of a math professor, we always had Escher prints in the house. Some might think his style was unique, eccentric,

erratic

or hard to comprehend, but I was entranced by his art.

[Randi]

I am not at all artistic but I do like math, so I really liked the Escher prints in my math textbook. I think we had some at home too since mom was very artistic.

Certainly Escher was an

icon

for the intersection of art and math.

[pommystuart]

One

day, when I am not busy finding words for the OW puzzels I will look up Escher.

[leelaht]

Never-fear,

here's something appropriate...

[Randi]

However, that

art,

although very appropriate for OW, is by Rob Gonsalves rather than Escher.
