40 分钟Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast, this week coming to you live from Amsterdam!
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshinski, Andrew Hunter Murray and James Harkin,
and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go!
Starting with fact number one, and that is my fact this week, my fact is, in 2015,
86 inmates at the Exeter prison wrote an angry letter to their local newspaper complaining
that the weekly Suduko puzzle was too hard to complete.
Yeah.
You dogs.
I don't think they're going to be in here tonight.
So this was 86 inmates, they found it completely impossible.
It was an unfinished puzzle that they ended up sending into the editor of a local newspaper.
It wasn't impossible, right?
No, it wasn't impossible.
The newspaper replied and said, actually, it is possible.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, but it was possible.
Well, they discovered that basically the inmates had got some of the numbers wrong in the middle,
and once you do that in Suduko, it's impossible to fix it, you know, if you're trying to just continue on.
But how were 86 inmates trying to solve the same Sudoku puzzle?
