The Week contest: Octopus album
This week’s question: A Swedish man ordered a live octopus from a seafood distributor and then spent six months teaching it to play a specially modified underwater piano, awarding the creature with food every time it pressed a key. If an album of the octopus’ music were to be released, what should the collection be titled?
