Michael Angelika is meanwhile diligently working on her photos. Figure 1 shows the artist retouching the images, where even the last specks of dust that sneaked onto the negatives and photo paper during development are covered with matching color. Of course, the old overachiever received an "A+" in her photography course again. When I was in school, I also got straight A's, as you know. Haha, or not! And in the photo lab at the UC Berkeley Extension, the lady has made herself so indispensable that at the end of the semester, she received a call from the manager asking if she would like to take on the "Monitor" (tutor) job one day a week, to assist the students with advice and support, and to ensure order and discipline (the whip cracks: Pchtsch! Pchtsch!). As compensation, she is allowed to choose a course at the university and hang out at the photo lab as often as she wants, even when it is officially closed to the public, like during the holidays. I already know who will take full advantage of that until the very end.
The prize puzzle last time really gave you a hard time. Dear people, it seems you are greatly overestimating my athletic abilities. While I can easily fall a few thousand meters from the sky, I certainly can't jump up five feet high to reach the basketball hoop--am I Magic Johnson or what? Figure 2 shows the original image that a colleague took at Netscape, the fake version from the last newsletter, and another version where perhaps more people would have caught on. But after a few days of anxious waiting and a series of incorrect attempts (most guessed the Austin Powers image with the crooked teeth was fake), an email with the correct solution arrived: Mother and Bernd Schünke, who noticed the error due to the incorrect shadow in the image, sent in their suspicion via email and won! Congratulations and enjoy the hand-signed artwork!
