Winter-Games Effect

The Winter-Games Effect is a phenomenon when someone is stuck on a puzzle that cannot be solved within a 24 time span. This effect is increased when a group of people are incapable of finding a solution, despite receiving cryptic clues and and an abundance of teasing from the creator of the puzzle.

The Winter-Games Effect destroys the mental state of the individuals attempting to solve the puzzle.

fah effect

A phenomenon when the world seems to work against you and your harmless actions end up backfiring. Like when you point out something cool and underrated, and suddenly everyone notices it—prices go up, it sells out, or it changes in a way that ruins it for you. You didn’t mean to cause the hype, but now you regret ever saying anything.

You post about a cheap, overlooked collectible—now it’s trendy and triple the price. Classic Fah Effect.
