Who's up for a Scanvenger hunt?
« on: January 14, 2005, 11:17:42 AM »
I will list 15 things I want you to find using google image search. Get all 15 and you win points. No previously posted image as part of this game can be reused by anyone during the game and you may not create or host your own images. This game will end next Friday. I will then award double the usual points, so 10 loot per correct image to all and 50 bonus points if you find all the images I wanted. You could earn 200 bonus points this week. Good luck!

Find me...

1. An upside down x-mas tree
2. A treasure map with a red X on it
3. A monkey with a racket in his hand
4. An ad for a fat free banana split or other ice cream desert
5. A fur bikini
6. A fictional Super Hero and the eiffel tower in the same picture
7. An orange colored, man powered vehicle
8. A flower talking to another flower
9. The picard maneuver
10. A dancing bear
11. A person in a public place (not a work location) wearing a hair net.
12. A telephone receiver that is at least 3 different colors
13. A smurf falling down
14. A hand made diagram that illustrates the rotation of earth around the sun, or some other astronomy concept.
15. A tree house with a "no girls" or "no girls allowed" sign.

Shall we post these images or PM you the links or how do you want this? I'm assuming you want us to post them here so others can see to avoid duplicates.

Posted here please. The sooner you play, the better your odds are at getting all of them since you can reuse previously posted images.

Oooooh! We may have a winner! Unfortunatly, I get a "page cannot be displayed" on #3 and a red X on #15. That may be caused by my firewall so if others would be kind enough to tell me what they see, I would appreciate it. Other than those two, it's a perfect score so far...

Perfect Score! I was able to confirm 3 and 15 from home. You get 200 loot.

Originally, I didn't either, but if you look closely in the very back there's a very faded building that appears to be the Eiffel Tower. However, it could just as easily be downtown New York.

Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Well, paint me purple and slap me silly!

I guess I'll need to search harder if I'm to get all of them. I think that's the only one that needs 'fixing'.

I don't think your monkey is holding a racquet, either.

Judge, maybe next time, to make reading this kind of thread less obnoxious, you require full URLs instead of hotlinked images?

I concur. It's really annoying to have to scroll down through all of those.
