Guess the Google 20 Flickr pictures in a collage. 20 seconds to guess the connecting tag. 10 collages per round. (I got something like 268pts) [need Flash 7.0]

  • Somw answers must be in British spelling, or something. Or else they typo'd.
  • I eat irony and it tastes like copper. Go figure.
  • yeah...IS Brit spelling: hint....colour. Umm...don't remember if there's others. I imagine it would make a pretty good pyschological test. I wonder how many collages they've generated? It's like a visual cryptic crossword - I daresay they could scale something like it for competitions (or probably all ready have in some other guise).
  • Is there a British spelling for dreadlocks, or for glasses?
  • dreadlocks....I never got that one, but it has the same spelling Brit/US (unless as you suggested, there are typos). Umm...maybe it's ''dreads'' or ''dredlocks'- that's probably the common mispelling. Nor do I remember glasses (same spelling) - I played it 6 or 7 hours ago. [And I'm nearly being enticed to have another go.]
  • it is dreads. fun little game.
  • Flickr? Tags? The description says it's using Google image search... Anyways, 339 points!
  • if it's not blisters, scabs, allergy, warts, ecsema, rabies, rash, or acne, then WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
  • 215. I wish they told you the correct answers when you flubbed it. Some of them I totally could not get.
  • 360 points! Awfully addictive game. Mygothlaundry: Yeah, I wish they'd give the correct answers, too.
  • Wow, am I bad at that.
  • 307
  • dreadlocks....I never got that one, but it has the same spelling Brit/US it's dreads
  • I officially suck at this game.
  • Mfpb 2 21: try pimples
  • that was fun.
  • d'oh !! google images not flickr. I really must learn to read/take notice.
  • Incidentally, this is basically a recreation of Jonathan "Wolf" Rentzsch's EtherPEGCocoa (stuffit file). You can read about it (a very little bit) here. EtherPEG was originally designed to pull out the images from all of the ethernet traffic around you and display it on-screen. When he re-wrote the version for OS X, he designed a game around it, where someone did a google image search, and you watched the pictures go by and figure out what they chose for the search.
  • Mfpb 2 21, try burns?... if you got the one I did.
  • 276. damn quiddich (or however it's spelled).
