Ben Blatt of Slate solved the age-old problem (if your age is 30): Where's Waldo? I enjoyed scouring the pages for the red-white striped eponymous character. The hectic scenes included many fakes and frauds, but also Waldo's friends. A simple experiment revealed the approximate location of Waldo for 50% of the scenes. By mapping the location from each page, Blatt showed that most scenes place Waldo 3 or 7 inches from the bottom. Check out his work!
By the way, in Europe the character is named Wally! Happy Hunting!!!
