Trovare Wally con una rapida occhiata

Ben Blatt ha trovato uno schema vincente che permette di trovare Wally, o Waldo nella versione nordamericana, in modo relativamente semplice.
Wally è il protagonista della fortunata serie Where's Wally?, nata dalla fantasia di Martin Handford, in cui bisogna riconoscere lo stravagante personaggio con gli occhiali, un maglione a righe bianche e rosse e un cappello di lana nascosto in mezzo a stravaganti folle.

It may not be immediately clear from looking at this map, but my hunch that there's a better way to hunt was right. There isn't one corner of the page where Waldo is always hiding; readers would have already noticed if his patterns were so obvious. What we do see, as highlighted in the map below, is that 53 percent of the time Waldo is hiding within one of two 1.5-inch tall bands, one starting three inches from the bottom of the page and another one starting seven inches from the bottom, stretching across the spread.
