Alright, so I wanted to figure out how to spot Finn when he ditches that dumb hat, right? Here’s exactly how I tested three stupidly simple methods today. No fancy gear needed.
Starting Simple: The Sun Trick
First I remembered Finn’s hair sticks up like he’s shocked all the time. Went downtown around noon when sunlight hits hard. Just chilled near coffee shops scanning heads sideways for weird shadows. Took like 20 minutes but BAM – spotted one dude with hair casting this jagged spike shadow on a wall. Walked closer and yep, hatless Finn ordering espresso. Easy win.
The Crowd Method Experiment
Later I camped near the bus stop rush hour crowd. Stood on a bench just looking for movement patterns. Normal folks walk straight or check phones. Finn? Dude zigzags like a cockroach in light. Saw this guy bobbing through people, stopping randomly to tie shoes twice in 5 minutes. Zoomed in with my phone camera – messy hair sticking out everywhere. Gotcha again.
Final Test: Sound Check
This one felt risky but worked like magic. Hung around open street musicians knowing Finn can’t resist drumming on stuff. When the sax guy played, I heard this offbeat tapping behind me. Turned slowly – some tourist? Nope. Was Finn slapping rhythms on a newspaper stand. That messy hair bounced with every tap. Didn’t even see his face till I walked past him.
What actually worked:
- Shadow shapes beat squinting at hairlines
- Weird movements > facial features in crowds
- Rhythm addiction outs him every damn time
Honestly expected this to be harder but nah. Trick is not overthinking – just use what’s already in your face. Sun, crowds and random noises do all the work.
