Title: Googlewhack!
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 22, 2008, 01:30:52 AM

We all know Google to be the most popular place to go to when you search for something.  There are times when we get alot of choices and when we only get a few.

The basic idea of this game is to go onto Google.  You then take ANY TWO words Google can look up and have the site search them.  Here's the tough part though... the goal is to get only ONE result.

Post what you find and try to become the "Googlewhack" champ by finding that one combination of words that yields only one result.

I'll start with:

Chive Newspaper.

Dang!  I got 44,500 Results. :(

Oh well. :)

Good luck to all. :^.^:

Got it!  I typed in:

antidisestablishmentterrionism whack


I honestly think that's one of the only two words you can type into google that will allow you to pull up only one result.

I tried this in April. Nobody (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=2772) reponded to mine. Hope you get better luck than I did!

I never saw your topic.  Maybe it got pushed down by all the other new ones.

landbeforetimelover,

If I spell it like it is in the dictionary:
antidisestablishmenttarianism whack

I get all sorts of results on google.  I tried it all in quotes and still got a lot of results.

Hmmmmm.  That's how you spell it?  Well, I thought I spelled it correctly because if you just type it into google the way I spelled it, you get a ton of results and there's no "oh, did you mean ______?"  crap after searching. :huh:

I'm just going by http://www.dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com) spelling.

It marked your spelling as incorrect, pointing it to the spelling I posted up.

Another fun google thing (maybe mean).
If I type "tˆntmusik" (translated "dork-music") on google, I get several results with pages stating that "tˆntmusik" = "synthmusik" (synthmusic)  :lol
Not that I have anything against that sort of music or anything.

Have you gotten any that had less than 10 results?  Getting addicted to this game will soon find numbers like that will start to seem good but slowly become a taunt. :)

With how vast the internet is, I'm not surprised how hard it is to win, even though the rules are SO simple. -_-

Umm... there's one more rule actually. Both the words have to appear in a blue hyperlink at the side with Google definitions. Makes it a hell of a lot trickier.

"duodonem" doesn't count.... good try though. That's the closest I ever got; one hit, but only one blue word.

Post by: Tails_155 on June 23, 2008, 04:18:40 PM

 it's definable through Google though... odd (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=oDD&q=define%3A+duodenum&btnG=Search)

and you can get a definition alone this is from Google at the top too (http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&oi=dict&ei=LgVgSLLvOqLuigGwppSTDA&sig2=lngJPmQpx8PG7kSAM2dltw&q=http://www.answers.com/duodenum%26r%3D67&usg=AFQjCNGzLoIi2hhmibRX35lAHWckDaMMbg)

I didn't see it wasn't a linked word though

kevlar Dysraphia: 4

heresy rhubarb: 170,000....

another google game is the Ebay game... yes confusing I know...

type in a search and if the ebay link comes up the statement can be funny, on my other computer I have an image that says

"Looking for 25 to Life? Try Ebay!" because 25 to Life is a game XD

here's a link (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/07/everything-for-sale-on-ebay.html) if anyone wants to start that game thread
