At a New Zealand pub, fifty people barely looked up as the man at the piano played unnoticed, his face covered by the lid. It was Justin Bieber.
Practice puzzle. It does not touch your streak or today's stats.
Kept 'pub' or 'New Zealand'? Where it happened. The best wrong word here: the story is who was playing and that nobody noticed, not where. Kept 'lid' or 'face'? How he hid. 'Unnoticed' already says it worked. This one really happened. On a Thursday afternoon in October, Justin Bieber and seven friends walked into the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Russell, a small town in New Zealand's Far North, for beers, oysters and ika mata. He sat down at the red baby grand in the corner, lifted the lid so the 50 people in the restaurant could not see his face, and played other people's songs without singing. Only four or five people clocked him, mostly on their way to the toilet. The owners' daughter was his waitress. Before they left, his group rang the ship's bell, which means shouting the whole bar a drink, and they did. He posted a photo of himself at the piano on Sunday. RNZ, 17 October.
