Come on guys, who didn’t just right click the image and tell google to find the image?

Huh? Is that a Windows thing? Is it doable on Mac?

All good. I Googled it. Doable - just no option to ‘right click’ it.

What’s the point of playing if we cheat? LOL

No cheating! I suggest you all save and upload the images to prevent this from happening.  cool mad

I didn’t cheat on the ones I tried to identify - it defeats the purpose.

However, I did use simple deduction to figure out Billy’s one (which is why I chose not to claim it). It wasn’t difficult - as it was a holiday snap, and at the time she pretty much listed a running commentary of her trip on Facebook.

. . . and only post pics of places at least some people have been to. I was going to post a pic from Slovakia earlier, but I figured the likelihood of anyone else on here riding there besides me would be slim. It’s also why I chose a recognisable landmark for the pic I posted.

I agree!

But the game does stall if its not recognisable!

Ah i was wondering that…

Yeah it should be like a version of Animal, Vegetable and Mineral…

But that means the poster of the photo has to revisit…

I just examined the image properties on Chucky’s pic - it’s right there in the name.

I will say in my own defence that I at least guessed Eastern Europe having seen Billy’s FB posts.  Also, since Chucky had already guessed it, it was kind of a dead rubber.

I’m afraid I could hardly guess any of the mountains you guys have posted - I need to travel more! airplane

Yep!!!!!

Ohhhh, and even if you save and upload it, even alter the image, Google Image will still find find it 9 times outta 10!!!!!

It works similar to face recognition software!!!!!

We just have to be honest when we’re playin this game!!!!!

* I wrongly accused Stamford of usin it in the Surf Section on some random wave!!!!! Hahahaaa!!!!!  red face

Chucky - I guess it’s you!

Btw - SORRY I’ve been so MIA lately, I’m in the middle of report writing. Sucks.

Bjelašnica

and I cheated like a boss

You’re a good apple MudHoney. The first of us to admit we were probably all cheating!  LOL

I did, that’s why the photo I put up was my own so there was no link to it

But that was my own photo?
