I would love to print out a whole sheet of those stars as stickers.
Then just go in public like "You ever heard of Where's Waldo? Well this is is Look At George! Ready to play? Ok, 3...2...1....flips paper around Now let me know when you see George....."
Pyrrhus is the namesake for the concept of Pyrrhic victory, i.e. where while you technically won, it was at such a cost that you couldn't fathom trying it ever again. The linked article lists a number of historic examples.

I may have won the George Game, but in doing so I lost the Game. Now I know how Pyrrhus felt.

I don't know who Pyrrhus is/was, or what they did, but they sound smart. So I'm agreeing with you...

I am semi looking forward to Project Hail Mary (love the book. Hate the trailer for spoiling so much).
If I see a Papyrus reference before the movie, I'm going to be laughing every time Gosling gets annoyed at the science in the movie xd
