Manuel Calavera posted:Bizarro Yelyektioee Yayestsolts Ieetl is a very bizarre name for a business, especially since it mixes the Russian and English alphabet, but I suppose that's to be expected considering the name of the strip I don't speak Russian and my "translation" of the name is probably very very wrong but you get the idea

Tiggum posted:The first two were pretty good puzzles for children. The second two are a bit Inspector Danger. Don't you know that women always take their hats off with two hands? I used to really like the Encyclopedia Brown series as a kid and there's one that always stuck out to me. There were always some I had no chance of solving simply because they relied on things that were only true decades prior, but this one failed on every level, even undermining its own premise. Basically, it's determined that there are some crooks hiding in a restaurant. The patrons and their positions are all described, and the criminals turn out to be a couple each crossdressing as the other gender (for... some reason. Look it's been a long time. They also may have both been men, I dunno). The reason is that that the woman was sitting in the wrong spot - you see, women are supposed to sit with their backs to the wall in restaurants, and the couple had it the wrong way around, proving their deception. But the very fact that this is a mystery that needs to be solved and is presented as a puzzle relies on the fact that the reader doesn't immediately recognize that as wrong! If it's something the reader might not know, why wouldn't it be something that they didn't know? Most damningly, it's something Encyclopedia Brown himself didn't know - it's solved by another character who knows these things because such knowledge comes standard with being a girl. I realize this has a very tenuous connection to the topic at hand, but I've been mad about this puzzle for like 15 years and I'm going to take any opportunity I can to finally rant about it.
