Hocus Pocus Focus (Part 2)
"When we are absorbed in anything we are unaware of time; and so it seems to pass quickly." Magician Sam SharpeThis is part two of a two-part article that focuses on magicians and trainers.

Tetris
In 1985, Alexey Pazhitnov invented Tetris as part of a science project for the University of Sciences in Moscow. The name Tetris is derived from the Greek word "Tetra" which stands for four - as all the pieces in the game are made of four blocks. Seven randomly rendered tetrominoes or tetrads - shapes composed of four blocks each - fall down the playing field. The object of the game is to manipulate these tetrominoes with the aim of creating a horizontal line of blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and the blocks above (if any) fall. As the game progresses, the tetrominoes fall faster, and the game ends when the stack of Tetrominoes reaches the top of the playing field...
