Since, to my certain knowledge, all the others in the list don't have birthdays on 17th Jan, I was going to answer 'Lukas', but I see...you've...already...ahem.

<slinks off to bed>

Snapsie and Lukas are twins???????

Yay.
1,000,100 points to me.



And Glampop too.
Triplets eh?

I guessed snapsie.

Fill in the missing word quiz.


The correct answer is d. Bex.



Here's the evidence.
Look at the embroidery on the stool. Who likes embroidery?
It was taken on or about New Years, when we know Bex had visitors.
And, Bex posted it in the public domain on 30th Jan 2012.

That's good enough for me.

500 points to everyone regardless of you getting it right or wrong or falling asleep.

Dammit, I voted a).

You fool.

I answered (c) Snapsie

Actually I did try and cheat a bit, blowing up the photo to see if I could find out what the book title is and the badge/ label next to it ... but it all got a bit blurry

ORIGINAL QUESTION

FA/SML starts on Thursday 26th April and concludes on Monday 7th May.

Using the citeria of words in the script, to the nearest, what proportion of the film takes place on Agnes birthday on Friday 27th April?

a) 25%
b) 35%
c) 45%
d) 55%
e) 65%

CORRECT ANSWER

e) 65%

actually over two thirds of the film takes place on Friday 27th April, up to but not including Elin’s dream.

Nearly right.
I guessed d) 55%.





Please don't hit me for getting it wrong.

I went for b. Spectacularly wrong.

Well, you know what you can expect from Snapsie now.

Promises, promises.

ORIGINAL QUESTION

When Agnes and Olof have their heart-to heart, neither is at school/w*rk. What day of the week is it and for what reason?

(A) It is Sunday 29th April, school is closed and Papa is not at work anyway.
(B) It is Monday 30th April, which is ‘Walpurgis Eve’, and taken by many in the West and South of Sweden as an unofficial half-holiday.
(C) It is Tuesday 1st May, which is a public holiday in Sweden as it is ‘International W*rkers Day’
(D) It is Wednesday 2nd May, Agnes is off school feeling poorly, and Papa takes the day off to be with her.

CORRECT ANSWER

(C) It is Tuesday 1st May, which is a public holiday in Sweden as it is ‘International W*rkers Day’

10 points for getting it correct. 1 point for any other answer.

It is the reason Agnes birthday is dated as Friday 27th April, even though 27th April in 1998 was NOT on a Friday. The date was ‘adjusted’ to fit in with the ‘timescale’ of the plot, including the public holiday on 1st May.

10 bonus points if you knew that is the reason for the anachronism in the date.

UPDATE

I have been doing some research on the script. Frankly, there are massive worm-holes in the space-time continuum. I think this is a kind of consequence of investing two-thirds of the plot on one day. The script doesn't necessarily delineate beyond night or day which day of the week we are in, merely that something is day, evening or night (Lukas doesn't seem to do afternoons). The firm anchor point is bingolotto which had to take place on a Saturday. There are two key scenes anchored to this - Elin and Birgitta , and then a week later Elin dumping Johan. But,then that leaves us with whole days on which NOTHING appears to happen, or else very little. In my mind I always associated Elin being bonked by Johan as a consequence of their boozy night at the sausage stand but contemporaneuosly it can't be so? So, what the fuck happened on Monday 30th April? A school day, unless it was taken as half-day? It just doesn't fit.

I'm slightly annoyed with myself because I have shredded my own work before now, because I can't tie up the ends in a consistent timeline. On the other hand, it is an education. When you watch the film it all makes sense. Even if the timelines don't. We become absorbed in the flow of the story. It all seems so natural. I guess that is the brilliance of Lukas. He has a sense of time as ''experienced'' by young people, rather than ''real-time''. When you are young and in love, waiting for a few hours on a phone call can seem like a desperate eternity. In so-called ''real-time'' a dull day at school only occupies two minutes of memorable time.

Fucking brilliant! I know he worked closely on a collaborative basis with his young cast. Ima sure they would have told him if it ''didn't feel right'' from their perspective.

So yes. 100 bonus points for anyone who cares to read my shit!

Lacking your solar Virgoan analytic powers, O snappia, I had to answer honestly -

E. I don't have the first clue

So I honestly didn't have absolutely no idea. But it's great that before when I catch make a general answer so Snapsie catch answers itself. This is helping us a lot of work . And your knowledge of the movie I always like to read (and shit it's not) just because it's always something to discover! Sincerely speaking, I didn't notice for such a wormhole in space-time, just as you write...people simply don't have a chance to notice, because they are absorbed into other things, the things to be visual as well as I do. Now picture reminded me more my notice that I have not written because it's really tiny thing. When it is a shot that have shall close to Agnes, it's nice to see her neck pulsing. It's pretty see that on the neck pulsing the balls of the bead chain.
