Of square pegs and round holes

In what is destined to become a classic training video for military aptitude tests, Zoogle seeks, and finds, a relation between mouth and thumb. Like many great scientific discoveries, the path to eureka was neither short nor straight. When Edison was asked if his 100 failed attempts to invent the light bulb had discouraged him, he is reputed to replied "Discouraged! Why, I am 100 attempts closer to a solution!" Zoogle tries first the fist, then a finger in the nose, then a thumb in the nose with his finger gently scratching his eyelids, then his palm, then his knuckles, then his forearm. Discouraged? "Drop dead" a peevish Zoogle fires back, "I know this bastard has a solution." Summoning his resolve, he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work: he adjusts the position of his arm; he observes the rotational asymmetry of the hand; he interpolates the mouth between nose and chin; he regularizes the 3-D reconstruction of that 2-D visual projection, invoking some apriori knowledge of handedness. One percent inspiration, ninety nine percent perspiration. Edison would be proud. He nails it. You can watch the process here.
