World's Largest Crossword Puzzle.

I apparently need to get my ass to the Ukraine. Particularly the city of Ivov. For in glorious Ivov resides the world's largest crossword puzzle. It covers the entire side of 30 meter tall housing building (that's 100 feet tall in stubborn Americanese). During the day the crosswords puzzle is blank, its squares empty. But at night the answers light up. Check this out:

"The questions for the puzzle are located in different points of interest in the city: monuments, theatres, fountains etc, so people walking around the city can try to solve the puzzle and write down their answers. When night comes they can meet at the building and check their degree of intelligence."

How cool is that? Seriously, giant crossword puzzle + city-wide + scavenger hunt-esque = swoon


I'm a huge nerd in case you haven't realized this by now.
