The grassy knoll? ;p

Maybe an abandoned aquarium, hence the green and yellow alques

sorry, not correct. :) the aquarium is the right scale.

water melon!!!!!!!!

correct Pompo! that was fast. :) i thought it will take at least a day.

the winner can post a new one.
files/forum/solution_1.jpg

I left a little more details to make it a bit easier :)
files/forum/p2233638cropped.jpg

Potatoes? or a part of the human body?

nope........sorry

A pair of loafes, or more specifically a duo of banquettes.

(This is fun! =)

ya mean baguettes (bread) ?

no...try again :)

it's a single thing BTW

that's a good one Pompo! the name of the file gave it away! i couldn't stand not to google it up. sorry! :D

it's the fortune cookie, right? :)

here is the next one:
files/forum/texture_2.jpg

:D it's funny I was thinking about somebody googling it..

and I thought..... should I rename it???

Next time I will!

google is a dangerous thing! people google everything! :D

"google first...then ask questions........"

that last one looks like a fossil of some sort

tire treads

either a fossil of some sort, or a partial tennis shoe print.

I can't see the latest texture pic Ivan posted..can ya?

Fingerprints?

fish?

it's not a fish, but it IS related to sea. it's not a fossil, but it IS used to be a living thing. its name is made up of two words like "marinemoney". ;)

It's a sand dollar shell.

I'll pass on posting a picture. It is past my bedtime. I'm going to turn into a pumpkin

correct!

That's easy. It's a basketball. Isn't it?

you got it! :D it was too easy! now it's your turn!
files/forum/solution_3.jpg

Ok :) Thats a cool game.

Here is my enigma :)
files/forum/donotgoogleme.jpg

Corrugated metal roof?

i go for roof too. maybe a plant, like a palm leaf, but not likely.

metal roof...

imurf was quick and guessed it :)

Yes it is a roof. Now it's your turn!
files/forum/solution.jpg

is that your house? cool!

that looks like a very very tipical icelandic summer-home!

we icelanders love our corrigated iron-roofs! ... and walls for that matter.

i guess you need strong roofs with all that wind. :)

i have no idea what you mean... the weather here is always sunny and a clear sky... even at nights!!! ;)

That house is in South Africa. Not far away from Jo'burg on the big plains. :)

files/forum/123thumb.jpg

Maybe a squid?

i say it's a crab.

Looks like an insect..

no ones got it yet?
files/forum/soft-shell.jpg

man, I've never seen a turtle like that before! Here, all of our turtles have much more curved shells and more rounded mouth. Plus, i've never seen a turtle with such a smooth shell. Is this a Canadian turtle?

wow! he's so cute! is that a turtle? doesn't it have a specific name?

guess this one guys!
files/forum/secret_texture.jpg

It is definietly a statue, but I am not shure which one. I have two options, but I don't want to spoil it yet :)

I need more clues before I MOUNT a RUSH for MORE replies! :D

These New World species range from Canada, through the U.S. east of the Rockies, down into northern Mexico. softshelled species are also found in northern Africa, through Israel up into Turkey, in the Amur region in the former USSR, and from China and Korea down through southeast Asia, including species introduced into Hawaii.

if this is what you guessed Balazs, than it's your turn. btw, anyone had a chance to visit it?

Balazs
files/forum/guessme.jpg

damnit... i know i've seen this somewhere!!! it does follow the golden section though!

Larusson: Yeah. You're on the right track :)

mais

If mais is a corn, then NO. It is not a baby mais :)

Seems like nobody was able to guess my picture :cry:

I thought it's an easy one.

It's a cauliflower. It has this amazing fractal-like structure.
files/forum/cauliflower.jpg

it's truly amazing, but in my book colliflower looks differently. :) it's white and has no pagodas.

guess this one:
files/forum/guess_this_one.jpg

Bread, even maybe slightly toasted

(no, I don't have a bread-fetish ;)

TOAST!!!

correct! Mimer or larusson your turn guys!

what kind of caulliflour is that!??!??!?!?

it looks so exotic

it's a fractalish cauliflower...

It's the Romanescu cultivar, beloved of mathematicians.

game reloaded. if you guess it, you can have it.

2 dollar bill

not quite right, but almost

1 dollar bill? or 10 dollar?

1 dollar bill - correct.

your turn Tiger, post a detail to guess!

man ... i was sure you would have a twist on this one!!! :)

sorry. no twist here. :D is there a two dollar bill at all? or only 1 and 5? i can't remember. i was gonna put the masons eye, but that would've been too easy! :D

there sure is... though some people don't believe it's real.

i swear i never seen this ever!

My grandma used to give me a 2 dollar bill for every holiday. I'd save 'em up until I needed for pizza and beer. They're no longer made, but I think they're currently worth about $2.25.

IT'S YOUR G5!!!!

larusson wrote:

IT'S YOUR G5!!!!

Wrong guessing Larusson but hm the thing is influcensed by the G5 design..

:D

it's that external hard disk that matches the G5. or it's your trash bin from IKEA.

New hint!

It's something special to have!

and a G5 is not special to have?? ;)

It's not a computer thing but it may lead to a computer, hmm I think I've said to much now :D

ok. i give up! what is it???

Is it a picture of a G5?

Damn I thought some Mac geek should have cracked this baby but guess I'm wrong :D

The thing is a Card given in the US to it's Retail PRO customers by Apple, it's influenced with the Powermac G5 design and gives discounts and is something really special to have (I don't have one) and if you have it, it may lead to a computer , who knows? :D

Check more about it here: http://www.apple.com/retail/procard/

I wanted to continue with money as I cracked Ivans 1-dollar bill, but a Mastercard or VISA card would have been too easy and this site is full of Mac heads :)

Funny thing though.. I'm a PRO member here at CreativeBits and it's a card for PROs :D

Sorry if it was too difficult :oops:

it would be so cool if google would offer image search capabilities. i mean you upload an image and than google gives you images that have similar features.

I think we need attachments to work if we're going to continue this fun thread!

Nop, sorry Tigerstorm.

Agreed, here's the texture again anyhow.

No one feel like playing anymore? (insert sad emoticon here)

It was a cows nose!

You should accept the dog's nose, it's an animals nose anyway.

Ivan confess now.. that cow is you.. and your picture in that little box is a picture you stole while searching Google ROFL!!

How many nipples with she have? On the udder sorry...

Where's the new picture!?!?

OK... here's one;

ice cube?

I can see a face!

Some sort of a glass ornament?

plastic bag with water?

No correct answers yet... but it IS glass. Want a hint?

It looks like a Apple Studio monitor that's [gasp] been through a fire.

It used to be very common.

Is it one of those glass thingies (some are star shaped) that you put pictures inside?

Let me put it this way; if you didn't have these, in one form or another, your house would be incomplete... even today.

OH... it's a door knob ;)

Huh, someone say knob?

An orange or lemon squeezer? Whose house would be complete without one of those!!
