If you're like us then you spent most of your time screaming at the TV during the opening ceremony of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
"Where's Tetris?" came the cry of countless gamers around the world. "How can you be celebrating Russia without mentioning Tetris? Never mind all that important political and cultural stuff: at least just show us one of the annoying Z-shaped ones."
And yet, it didn't happen. Tetris was roundly ignored during the opening ceremony, and the same went for the closing one. Cue numerous "in Soviet Russia, Tetris ignore you" jokes, even though Soviet Russia hasn't existed for 23 years now.
Imagine our joy, then, when Russia finally pulled the big guns out of the bag at the very last minute by paying tribute to its block-dropping legend during the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Winter Games, which has just finished.
Even better, it came in the shape of the world's biggest grammatical lesson, with Russian rowing champion Alexei Chuvashev climbing a massive rope and knocking a tetromino into place - one of the aforementioned Z-shaped ones at that - changing the word IMPOSSIBLE into I'M POSSIBLE.
With that, fireworks went off, people started dancing in the streets and a giant space shuttle took off. of that.
Have a gander at the highlights video below to see Russia finally acknowledging the existence of Tetris. It begins at the 1:20 mark.
