Or that I've still got four more to go.I spent the whole day working on a tricky problem that stems from a wrongly-named example in a 1949 article. I won't go into details, because I don't want to turn this blog into a diary about my work. Suffice to say that one mistake like that has meant 60 years of further confusion for subsequent scholars!
This picture shows the invserse fountain (or "waterfall", as it's known in the UK) in front of the Bing Theatre, sadly not named after Crosby, but after USC trustee Anna Bing Arnold. I love the typeface used for the sign - pure Hollywood!
The design of the waterfall is quite intriguing because it looks from all angles like an irregular shape, but it's in fact a regular hexagon inside a regular octagon.
