Trick to Winning Crane Games

by 깊은 구멍 속에 on July 22, 2011

in Korean Society, South Korea

From here and here:

A 10-year-old elementary school student inserted 1,000 KRW into a crane game, but when he failed to get the merchandise he wanted he climbed in through the hole to get it himself.

Unfortunately for him, however, he wasn’t able to get out with similar ease. Luckily the fire department showed up and got him out 20 minutes later.

Apparently the secret to winning crane games was hiring an elementary school student to climb inside and give me all of the goods. I only wish there was video.

When I first read “Crane” in the title, some recently read stories concerning their used by China’s-best-butt-buddy-in-the-world, Iran came to mind.

I won’t link them, and I don’t recommend googling them unless you are prepared for shock and dismay.

Kids do this all over the world every week – http://dok.do/5cM3m5

I just thought the 10y.o. Korean boy must be a very small grade 3/4 kid.
