I’m in a bit o’ rush so without further ado, here is the solution to PSP Pool:
And yer write-ins.
Chorbansi was first:
Took me less than a minute. I immediately thought of Astoria, New York, and there it was in all its iridescent glory. It is good to be back, thanks.
Ananth R notes:
Time to solve: about 30 sec.
“A story A”bout Greece = Astoria, NY, Greek neighborhood of Queens.
Some Judy B quickness:
Got it right away! Woohoo!
Mike B went to Oregon first:
“A Story About” -> “Astroia”
Astoria, OR had no hi-res images, so off to NY.
Citizen blazed:
30 seconds. I’m not kidding.
Shawn D did go on a quickie Greek adventure:
About two minutes. After a quick Athens trip, I remembered your fondness for puns. I’ve been to Astoria, great food. Got it quick after that.
BTW, it’s Astoria Park pool.
Bernd sez:
10 minutes maybe, wasn’t too hard
Tim J already has a PSP in the house:
Another quick one, just a couple of minutes. Wow, that really does look like my son’s PSP. Good clue!
Jen S got it after some misdirection:
I was all over the place yesterday, then decided today to make A story into Astoria, googled Astoria Greece and got a link to a Greek newspaper in Astoria, NY - only a minute of searching from there!
Aaron B cluemastered:
Took me a little time to find the PSP but then, poof, there it was.
Followed the same line of thought as with the last clue:
A Story About => Astoriabout => Astoriaand then googled that with “Olympic Pool” and there it was.
David H sped along:
Took three or four minutes. I picked up on the Astoria part pretty quickly. Still not sure about the Greece part. Is it because it’s an Olympic sized pool?
and newcomer Chris picked up his first solution send-in:
First time submitting, though I did play a few others after they were closed. I found this in about 30 - 45 minutes, looking first in the wrong place. Greece had olympics in my head, so I looked around Olympic sites for a bit. Then I got Astoria out of it, and knowing there was an Astoria in NY, it took seconds from there. Great game!
Yes, that does it and I am out of here… video game time! =)
