Tetris

Is that how you spell the game? I think so. I spent all last week playing Tetris......... in real life!! With boxes and the content of boxes. And while my description sounds like fun, it gets old after a short while. Like... two days. There are two levels of Tetris when one is packing. There is the tetris to get all the objects into a hollow rectangular prism, of which there are many of diverse proportions. There is also the tetris skill required to place all these rectangular prisms (only a very few are cubes) in a larger rectangular prism (AKA the van, Leroy) in an efficient manner. The second level of Tetris also forces the player to consider more closely such properties and laws as inertia and momentum. The Physics guys could probably also name a more properties, but these are those which seemed most obvious and important to me. Boxes shift as Leroy turns, so the Tetris-player's goal is to place the boxes in such a manner that minimizes box movement/shift.

That is literally what I did this week. And my back-muscles are mildly sore, which is indicitive of exercise on a non-harmful (might we say harmless?) level. I'm glad everyone else had a more interesting week than I.
