Wow, the original article uses proper English. The version the OP posted seems like a rough derivative. For example, confusing Hustle version: "The next great idea came when Michael watched his younger sister, Mariana, play on her phone. She was basically playing a hacked iOS charades game that Michael had created. The game was to take four photos, slap them into a collage, and make her friends guess the word she was acting out." The much better original... 'Inspiration struck one day while he watched his younger sister Mariana playing on her phone with a friend. She was taking pictures and giggling. “I was texting my friend one day and we were bored so I started sending her a collage of four pictures and making her guess the word and she would do the same,' Mariana Sayman told me. 'Michael saw what I was doing and thought it would be a great idea for an app.' Michael Sayman explained his thinking, 'I knew this was going to be a huge app. I knew it because my sister liked it before it even existed.'"
