There already is a HN submission of this (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14112814 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14112814 ).

- gus_massa 9y agoThere is a probably fake anecdote about Picasso. It's repeated everywhere on the internet: https://www.google.com/search?q=picasso+5+minutes https://www.google.com/search?q=picasso+5+minutes In spite it's probably fake I think it's enlighten here. You must consider not only the 20 minutes to devise it, but also the 5 or 10 or 20 years he was studding before this.
