        I may have missed it in the article - how long did it take?

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          One article (and the livestream video) said it took him 39 minutes. I figured it would take hours, but what do I know other than it's a 40 year old game and the technique to play it has evolved but no one has ever beat the game (made it to the code unsupported kill screen), so this is really remarkable. I'd have to imagine his brain was looping tetris music/moves in his head as he goes to sleep, almost like the waves you can feel after being at the beach all day.

            I bet he will be successful in whatever he does in the future.

            Education is extremely important.

              He'll be great at packing the car for family trips, that's for sure.

                When D4 was moving to a new apartment (which was smaller) she rented a storage unit. It was also small and they had difficulty getting everything to fit in there.

                "We 'tetris-ed' it in," she said.

                Sometimes, it's nice to verb a noun.

                  I often Tetris the fridge after a grocery run.

                    I’d be more impressed if he was deaf dumb and blind like the who’s tommy.

                      No doubt this kid is several standard deviations to the right in visual-spatial intelligence.
