Tetris is a reference to four. All of the shapes are composed of 4 blocks.
A "Tetris" is also the ultimate score in the game, and is achieved by eliminating 4 lines at once.

Alexey Pajitnov the games designer has cited pentominoes, (pentomino is a polyomino composed of five congruent squares, connected orthogonally.) as a source of inspiration for the game. He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix "tetra-" meaning four, as all of the pieces contain four segments.

Tetris effect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Tetris effect is the ability of any activity to which people devote sufficient time and attention to begin to dominate their thoughts, mental images, and dreams. It is named after the game of Tetris, which requires the player to rotate and move falling blocks of different shapes (see tetromino) to create, and thereby eliminate, complete horizontal lines of blocks.
People who play Tetris for a long stretch of time may be subsequently involuntarily prompted to think about ways different shapes in the real world can fit together, such as the boxes on a supermarket shelf or one's home furniture. They may also see images of falling tetrominos at the edges of their visual field or when they close their eyes. They may also dream about falling Tetris shapes when drifting off to sleep. [1]
The Tetris effect can occur with other computer games, with any prolonged visual task (such as classifying cells on microscope slides, weeding, picking fruit, or even playing chess) and can also occur in other sensory modalities. For example, in audition there is the tendency for a catchy tune to play out unbidden in one's mind (an earworm). In kinesthesis, a person newly on land after spending long periods at sea may move with an unbidden rocking motion, having become extremely accustomed to the ship making such movements (known as sea legs or mal de debarquement).
