I got a 270 my first time.  Second time it kinda froze on me halfway through.  364 my next time.

i got like 32 points on the first try because i wasn\'t paying attention.  Second try, i got 132 points...a few are obvious, but the majority aren\'t that obvious for me.

That\'s almost high enough to reach the top ten list on that site.

that\'s gotta be fake....
the first tree seconds are wasted on looking at the pics (the timer starts running before all pics are fully loaded) you\'re not telling me you came up with and typed an average of 8 words in two seconds.....not even in 5 seconds....

You just have to type one word that summarizes all of the pics.

What\'s bullshit about it is... if you keep playing over and over, you will eventually get the same image groups again, giving you a second chance along with the one-letter hint they gave you before.

Um...no it\'s not fake. You get 20 points for a correct answer plus the remaining seconds on the clock. I type 112 WPM so I can type things out pretty fast. Also, the game is a little glitchy and you can actually type out 2 guesses while the clock is at 20 seconds. I don\'t know how the hell the top scorer got their score. There\'s 10 questions and you have to answer most of them instantly to get a score a 400 and someone has like 396 or some BS. Meaning they answered before the timer started going down. The game pauses for a moment when it loads the images so if you type out your answer before the images load and hit enter, by the time the images load it will have entered your guess and the timer will be at 20.

So no, it\'s not fake.

No.

Now that is obviously fake because the highest score you can get is 400, which I couldn\'t possibly imagine anyone in here getting.

I know that, but you can see on the scoresheet he had an average of 8 guesses/round...

hmm, maybe my internet\'s been slow or something, cause I could only start guessing at about 18-17 seconds... :(

still.....8 words in five seconds is freaking fast, cause it\'s not just that you have to type them, you have to come up with them too!

Yeah...it does that sometimes. The game seems to be a little buggy. :mad:

It\'s not so much thinking of them, it\'s ferociously typing random crap out of nervousness in fear of the timer running out.

No shit.

As my mum always says.

If at first you don\'t succeed, or can\'t be arsed, photochop the bastard.

You photo "chopped" a little too high.

I would have chopped higher, but at the time, nobody had posted a score with any other number.

I had 9, but I wanted an 8, so I didn\'t use it twice.

I was wondering how the hell you did that.
