A Mystery Revealed

Return to “If You Can Read This, You’re Hired”
The Translations

Thanks to Patrick Martin for sending visual translations of the want ads that were so good, I decided to co-opt them for my own use here.

The Winners
Forty-six people wrote in with the correct answers. Many more made a valiant effort but missed the crucial addition of “Mac and” in Figure 2. Several people translated “Mac and” as “Mac end,” which I counted as an incorrect answer until one of you showed me that there is, in fact, a defensible reason for that answer.
I’ve alphabetized the winner list below by first name because a few people didn’t include their full names. If you’re on this list, you’ll receive your InDesign Magazine download information within a few days of this article’s publication date!
