WHere's Waldo (was Big hammers)

[jason kanter]

Speaking for myself, I looked at the picture and noted the coloring and
shape and size of the hammers, admired the hammer line, saw with a frown the
jack was not nicely positioned under the knuckle, noted that the flash had a
reflection on many but not all the drop screws, admired the jack's
regulating button, and went on; then read Ric's comment, went BACK to the
picture, studied those pixels of the knuckle core, thought "Omigod, Ric
analyzed the action geometry," noted that the knuckle core seemed to have an
angle in it as if it had been broken?

Where's Waldo is a good analogy. We should analyze photos more - a form of
puzzler.
