I grew up reading Games<\/em> magazine, so I was delighted when Ken Jennings<\/a> posted a good old “Pic Tac Toe” on his blog. But when he recently posted a plea<\/a> for others to do likewise, I thought it would be a good time to bring Conundrum<\/a> out of its summer hibernation.<\/p>\n

In a “Pic Tac Toe” puzzle, there are nine pictures in a three-by-three grid, like Tic-Tac-Toe. In each row, column, and diagonal, there is a common theme that unites the three pictures. The challenge is to find the eight themes.<\/p>\n

You can click on each image to see a larger version:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t have a message board like Ken has, so just post whatever you come up with in the comments section.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Correct themes provided by Annalisa (4) and DeLisa (2). Alternate theme suggested by DeLisa (1). See comments for all answers.\n<\/p>\n
