good categories if your plan is to annihilate nerds

speaking of nerds, the only reason I got any of the sets is because I've seen enough episodes of onlyconnect to know that if you're sure about two, systematically mashing every combination containing them is a viable strategy if you have no honor

16 tiles - the 2 you're certain about = 14 remaining
14 choose 2 = 91 possible combos
mashing a combo only takes about a second with a touchscreen, maybe a little more, but you'll probably find it well before exhausting every combo, so ballpark a minute and a half

doing that once reduces the pool to 12 tiles, so if you're sure about 2 more
10 choose 2 = 45

that leaves you about 30 seconds to figure out the remaining two, which is about what I had. and I was like aaaaaaaa

I got to this uh, theme, starting out thinking I'd be too clever by far and come up with categories where three members would obviously seem to fit together and the fourth one would be a red herring for another category.

so I started out with spoiler because I could make them seem like spoiler, and I was about to try and make spoiler the red herring of that group, next creating the category on which my entire puzzle is based, but then realizing that it wouldn't work because spoiler.

I sold five (5) stickers

Not bad! Especially if you didn't have to pay any of the tabling fee. Especially if you didn't go to a print shop and order 1000 stickers.

I'm doing a small press event soon (just a few days left to finish the other half of my master copy, do final layout changes, hit the self-serve copy machine, fold and staple...) and I won't be surprised if I don't make back the modest half-table fee. But isn't it nice when someone wants to take something you made home with them?

do you remember
