Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th February 2026.

25th February, 2026.

Boy … but that introduction video is very … ahh … umm … 

Yes: umm seems to be the way to put it.

I’ve used Final Cut Pro, Apple’s rentable, professional video editing suite, to make it.

Which is possibly like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

I’m very aware I’m still learning my way around the app: so … ?

Sledgehammery nut crack is going to be inevitable!

Hey … ho … !

~≈🎬≈~

I have an anonymous benefactor!

I had a letter, yesterday: one I think was prompted by the recent Lunar New Year.

One that consisted of an envelope with three lucky Chinese coins, tied together with the traditional red string.

I have no idea who sent it, as:

• I didn’t recognise the handwriting,
• There was no accompanying letter.

But whoever they — whoever you — are … ?

Thank you very much: the thought’s appreciated!

Let’s move on.


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum on four.

The day also saw Olga‡ leaving us a message.

“They can’t be older — they would be dead.”

Zeppo Marx (February 25, 1901 – November 30, 1979), speaking in an interview for the Freedonia Gazette.

And a Kana Hanazawa song …

The next three ten-question sets are on the 27th and 28th of February, and 1st of March: they’re about Pokémon, Andalusia and Nebraska.

‡        I’m glad I lost it, Olga: I was up a kilo, the week before!   (Make sure you put your feet up, if possible!)
