easter Eggs in Posters

Objective: You hide something clever or a puzzle in your poster and challenge the others to find it. For example, you could replace an image of glass structure with a distorted image of Rowland (and who doesn’t have a distorted image of Rowland?) or you could hide a funny set of symbols in an equation…

Reward: For the person who identifies your easter Egg, bring a prize that is representative of your home (price should not exceed 5 euros). The prizes will be awarded on 7 October during the short question period for the posters.
