Can anyone help identify this game? I would like to make an article about it if one doesn't already exist. I've looked everywhere here and at commons and cannot find it.
Someone I met while travelling found it in a book of "ancient lost games" where it was called "Hu Sing" (not sure if the spelling was that way). The game consists of 30 tiles, each with two faces or ends, like dominoes. It is similar to Chromino ( File:Chromino.jpg), but Chromino has three faces and is played very differently.
As you can see by the image, it is played by making patterns where each colour is represented in a line only once before the pattern repeats. In other words, a line may be green-blue-red-green-blue-red-green-blue-red... or red-red-red-red... -- up to 5 colors in a pattern. Another rule is that two rows must become longer when placing a tile.
Scoring goes like this.

12:01 (1993 film) - where is the real office building located? Does that remarkable building have a special name? Which company has its headquarters there today? You can see the building here at 7:54 min. (german) or here at 4:56 min (english) -- Zulu55 ( talk) 14:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
In the early 1990s, a song was sometimes played on 5MMM (South Australian radio station), which told the story of how the singer married the girl from the tractor factory. It was a novelty song, and was sung in a fake Russian accent. Does anyone know who sang this? Thanks! -- TrogWoolley ( talk) 14:43, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
There is a TV program where groups of people dance, and a number of television personalities judge their dancing style, ranking it with a number, discussing their performance, etc. With those results, the dancers are ranked as the programs are aired, and some dancers get removed from the contest, and finally there is a winner at the end of the season. Which is the television genre of such a program? Is it a game show, or something else? Cambalachero ( talk) 20:43, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
