My two words for this assignment were mechanism and key. The first thought that popped into my head when I initially thought of the word key was the lock and key type of key, but that felt too basic so I decided to go with a map or translation key type of key. For mechanism, I used a definition straight from the dictionary: “a system of parts working together in a machine”.
It has now been two weeks since I came to Berlin, and I still don’t understand how to read the subway map. It’s a “key” to the subway “mechanism”, but to me it’s a puzzle I can’t seem to solve. Inspired by this, I made a puzzle. Pictured below is an 9×8 scrambled puzzle (picture) of the Berlin subway system.
