When the moving van arrived, I realised I had underestimated how much stuff I had. There was no way my teetering pile of possessions was going to fit into the empty vehicle before me. Then, just when I needed it, a solution bubbled up from my subconscious — Tetris. Each item of furniture became a simple geometric shape. I noticed how one bed might stack squarely on top of the other. The chest of drawers, rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, would fit snugly in the corner under the desk. Those childhood hours spent arranging blocks on a two-inch screen had finally amounted to something useful.
當搬家車到達時，我意識到我低估了我有多少東西。我那一堆搖搖欲墜的財產根本不可能裝進我面前的空車。然后，就在我最需要的時候，一個解決方案從我的潛意識中涌現出來--俄羅斯方塊(Tetris)。每件家具都變成了一個簡單的幾何形狀。我注意到一張床是如何正直地疊在另一張上面的。抽屜柜逆時針旋轉90度，就可以緊緊地貼在書桌下的角落里。兒時在兩英寸屏幕上擺放俄羅斯方塊的那些時間，終于變成了有用的東西。
