Figured it had to be one of those frou-frou companies from the internets.

Solecismic · 03-22-2010, 06:10 PM

Had an idea. How 'bout someone posts ten of these, and we have a day to submit ten guesses in PM?

Rizon · 03-22-2010, 06:11 PM

Way too lazy to see if this one's been used yet, but here:

Marmel · 03-22-2010, 06:13 PM

Tiger's house?

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 06:13 PM

Look at Rizon breaking the rules and shit

Marmel · 03-22-2010, 06:13 PM

On second thought I doubt it. I was on the first pages and had golf on the mind.

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 06:14 PM

Playboy mansion

terpkristin · 03-22-2010, 06:14 PM

LOL Rizon's is NOT what I thought it'd look like. (yes I know what it is)

MJ4H · 03-22-2010, 06:25 PM

haha I just looked that one up to try myself. Only reason I know what it is.

Yup. Like others, I'm not particularly good at this game - but the concept is very, very good imo - especially with the diverse crowd we have here.

wade moore · 03-22-2010, 06:35 PM

Something tells me some people think this one posted by MJ4H to be easy, but I have NO idea what it is.

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 06:35 PM

Bill Gates House

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 06:36 PM

Christ the Redeemer in Rio, and I can pull that out of MY queue.

Correct.

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 06:42 PM

Hmmm...Jim's suggestion has merit, given that I think we've hit the last two in a row based on the fact that we're all hitting Google up for our own cool spots. But with the level of images we're posting, it's kind of a lightning round sort of thing. For a daily quiz, we need to get a bit more obscure, but either not so much that we need hints or we give hints at the same time as giving the pics. Any ideas?

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 06:43 PM

In the meantime...

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 06:47 PM

How about this? Ten images, a day to PM, 100 points per image awarded divided among the people who get it right? Maybe with a tiebreaker of points awarded based on timestamp of PM?

I think it's a good idea. Not sure it means this specific one has to die either - we could do them both.

I'm up for it.

MJ4H · 03-22-2010, 06:59 PM

This one is out of my league btw.

Just thinking about this some more - would we allow full google searching, etc?

If so - I think we definitely need some relatively hard stuff.

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 07:18 PM

Machu Picchu????

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 07:34 PM

Nope...

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 07:35 PM

Is it in the United States?

terpkristin · 03-22-2010, 07:37 PM

Yeah, this one is stumping me. Though there are so many places in the American southwest I could see it potentially being, it's hard to narrow down.

/tk

DaddyTorgo · 03-22-2010, 07:40 PM

really? how is that a famous place?

DaddyTorgo · 03-22-2010, 07:40 PM

i just figured it out, but it's really pretty damn obscure

DaddyTorgo · 03-22-2010, 07:42 PM

Pueblo Bonito - Chaco Canyon New Mexico

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 07:43 PM

the fuck. how did you figure that out

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 07:44 PM

I'll go next if you don't want to DT

i'll figure one out - hopefully something a bit...easier

Shkspr · 03-22-2010, 07:52 PM

Geez, less than an hour to solve is too hard? I cry foul.

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 07:54 PM

True. Eventually we will need to get more obscure anyways..

DaddyTorgo · 03-22-2010, 07:59 PM

Try this one

sterlingice · 03-22-2010, 08:02 PM

It looks like a college or maybe one of the military academies

SI

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 08:09 PM

Auschwitz

Scoobz0202 · 03-22-2010, 08:09 PM

dola -

although I think Auschwiitz is more towards the northwest.
