  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA#Product_names

    IKEA products are identified by one-word (rarely two-word) names.Most of the names are Scandinavian in origin. Although there are some notable exceptions, most product names are based on a special naming system developed by IKEA.[30]
    Upholstered furniture, coffee tables, rattan furniture, bookshelves, media storage, doorknobs: Swedish placenames (for example: Klippan)
    Beds, wardrobes, hall furniture: Norwegian place names
    Dining tables and chairs: Finnish place names
    Bookcase ranges: Occupations
    Bathroom articles: Scandinavian lakes, rivers and bays
    Kitchens: grammatical terms, sometimes also other names
    Chairs, desks: men's names
    Fabrics, curtains: women's names
    Garden furniture: Swedish islands
    Carpets: Danish place names
    Lighting: terms from music, chemistry, meteorology, measures, weights, seasons, months, days, boats, nautical terms
    Bedlinen, bed covers, pillows/cushions: flowers, plants, precious stones
    Children's items: mammals, birds, adjectives
    Curtain accessories: mathematical and geometrical terms
    Kitchen utensils: foreign words, spices, herbs, fish, mushrooms, fruits or berries, functional descriptions
    Boxes, wall decoration, pictures and frames, clocks: colloquial expressions, also Swedish place names
    For example, DUKTIG (meaning: good, well-behaved) is a line of children's toys, OSLO is a name of a bed, BILLY (a Swedish masculine name) is a popular bookcase, DINERA (meaning: (to) dine) for tableware, KASSETT (meaning: cassette) for media storage. One range of office furniture is named EFFEKTIV (meaning: efficient, effective), SKÄRPT (meaning: sharp or clever) is a line of kitchen knives.
    A notable exception is the IVAR shelving system, which dates back to the early 1970s. This item is named after the item's designer.
    Some of IKEA's Swedish product names have amusing or unfortunate connotations in other languages, sometimes resulting in the names being withdrawn in certain countries. Notable examples for English include the "Jerker" computer desk (discontinued several years ago as of 2013), "Fukta" plant spray, "Fartfull" workbench,[31] and "Lyckhem" (meaning bliss). Kitchen legs are called FAKTUM (called AKURUM in the United States). The latest addition is the new "Askholmen" outdoor suite. Similar blunders happen with other multinational companies.[32]

    My favourite Swedish fuckup was made by the UK Territorial Army. They had a campaign to join the TA as it would make you fit, and they produced these massive posters in the tube around 1998 or 1999.

    The posters all said: Get fitTA

    Except London is the city with the 3rd largest city Swedish population after Stockholm and Gothenburg and that translates as: Goat cunt.

    And we come full circle to great Nordic metal bands.

  • A row may have recently completely directly above that line, clipping the upper square from that green block on the left. SO, no you don't 'get' blocks like that but this is mid-game, at what looks like a crucial juncture and is therefore an entirely plausible Tetris scenario. (quite an intense piece to put in a stair well)

    I guess you wouldn't have experience of that if your ability confined you to the lower levels. So don't sweat it yeh. Both of you just relax in the knowledge that some people really know their stuff, yeh?

    You seem to have not got what I meant by "minus one line", but you've basically expanded on what I've said, except that if you look, the row that was completed almost has to be (there are other possible ways, but they are very unlikely) below the green triangle that's on the left, not at the top. (Hence why it has to be a zig-zag plus T)

    So yeah as you say, just relax in the knowledge that some people really know their stuff :)
