And the Oscar goes to… Lima!
Posted by Steve on February 06 at 12:38 pmFor all the movie fans out there, February is Oscars month. And we thought we’d have a little fun by putting Lima on the red carpet! Try and solve the puzzle below by dragging and rearranging the squares to reveal the hidden scene… there’s a prize waiting for you if you succeed! UPDATE: The prize expired on 2/9/09, but you can still have fun solving the puzzle!
Did you solve it? How many tries did it take?
Bonus question: what’s your vote for Best Picture this year? Tell us in the comments!
