Chalk me up as psycho!  Finished.   ;D

That was pretty cool.  New technology for an old novelty.

Peale, I just checked and it came up fine for me.  Maybe try it again.

Works for me, too.  Very cool, especially to see the lyrics from a Radiohead track.  I say track because it's not really a song, more of an interlude with some helpful suggestions from a Stephen Hawking voice.

Supposedly there's a trick to spotting the differences, for those people that can do those 'eye focus' optical illusion posters.

"The trick with these is to use the old magic eye focusing trick on them. You end up with a third image in the middle and all the differences are in a sense flashing. It turns the game into a 5-10 second exercise." Some people had to step back 3-4 ft from the monitor, others are able to 'refocus' closer to the monitor.

I can't ever get those things to work for me. So I didn't use the trick to complete these puzzles. I did it the good ole' fashioned way. Perseverance.  8)

I finished.  Very cool.  Having a mouse to use to count, track, and compare is a big benefit.  Having moving items makes it much harder.  Those freaking Christmas lights in the park drove me bananas.  Kept trying to figure out if one color was off.

Nice link though.  :)

That eye focus trick may or may not work on an LCD... I tried it and I'm usually good at the mall kiosk photo things.

Never could do it.  Did enjoy watching the Seinfeld episode with Mr Pitt and Mallrats with those posters in em though.   ;D

The other technique is to just click all over the screen systematically, that's how I got past the damn bridge man.

Nope, you may nottice that in my description of the process for that game I used the word systematically, there is nothing systematic to the way I surf the the world wide interwebs.

The blinking eye with the guitar room and the guy lying down gave me severe fits.  Couldn't find the last one.  Took me the longest at about 3 or 4 minutes.  About half of 'em seemed easy, and I got within 15-20 seconds.  The rest took about a minute or so.

Is there one in the background or are they all on the sign.

Oh, and eff you, MrC...
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

IIRC they were all on the sign but weren't all words.

My wife did it last night while I watched.  I noticed quite a few that were different than the ones I did.

The sign one is pretty easy.  It's always the little things that we take for granted....  :)

I thought I saw that too... the second time I tried some of the differences weren't the same as the first time.
