Trivia for 3/13
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Answer for 3/12:
 
In the city of Lvov (or Lviv), Ukraine there is a building with an interesting feature. On one external wall is a game, and clues to the game are scattered about the city's landmarks. What sort of game is this?
 
A crossword puzzle. The side of the building has squares - 19 across and 34 high - which make up the crossword grid. The clues to the words are found around the city in parks, at theaters, fountains and more. At night, lights in every square are turned on, revealing the answers. The Cyrillic alphabet is used, and the entire project was created to bring visitors to the highly cultural city.
 
45 people answered correctly.
