Full URLs please Stefan :)

3 is not Picasa. 7 and 19 are correct (and possibly some of the others :))!

I don't want to spoil things... so my answers are here:

http://ruscoe.net/blog/uploads/google-page-hunt-answers.txt

I'm currently stuck on 4, 9, 12, 14, 15 and possibly 20.

Ones marked with a * are ones I didn't know and had to Google. Is that cheating? :-)

13 is from mother's day tribute:
http://www.google.com/moms01/

19 is from google docs:
http://www.docs.google.com

2 is from this little epilectic buddy:
http://www.google.com/Easter/feature_easter.html

1 is not this, but close enough:
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42448

5 was way too easy, google patents:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=cLsGAAAAEBAJ

6 isn't the icon of google video uploader program?

17 is from the annoying upsetting frame google video puts above every video page.

That's all I can think of for now.

Rama, you just beat me to it!

Hey Ionut, no worries – it's only a bit of fun – but it's interesting to see how quickly (or slowly) people were finding them since we were all searching at the same time!

I knew where 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 16, 17 19, 20 where before looking at the comments :)

The only one I am stuck with is number 4. Well, I am late to the game. :)
(I remember No.9 was bike related, http://www.google.com/search?q=google%20bike : 4th result)

Ionut was "doping", Tony is co-editor :D ... so the Page Hunt cup goes to either Nacho & Stefan, whoever first guesses the pics below! OK, everybody else can guess too I guess, this is just for fun :)

Before i went to sleep yesternight there was no such game
In the morning i see the game started & every questoins got answered :(

Philipp Lenssen [PersonRank 10]

Rohit, #21 above is still unsolved :)

stefan2904 [PersonRank 10]

16 years ago #

good morning...

hm, i think #21 is on a "take the tour" page, the service has his own (sub)domain [you see the 'm' from '.com'] and its the 'home' button from ie6...
