Most people have come to know Tetris through hours of playing on the Game Boy. But the real hero is a one Alexey Pajitnov — a Russian genius with too much time on his hands and an affinity with beards.
For the Tetris novice: shaped blocks fall into a pit where you must arrange them so they fit neatly — a sort of juggling in one direction. The more blocks you can place into a horizontal line simultaneously, the more you score.
And remember to take a break every few hours.
