Looking at the totals since it started yesterday, only one thing comes to mind: Judge Smails in Caddyshack saying, "Don't you people have jobs?" :)

Bad news, my opthalmologist says that I have to give up playing Pixel Trivia III. :scared:

Whenever I click on a picture it keeps getting smaller and smaller.

Joe - can you fix that?
:sl:

I'm here to help!
How many points would you like me to deduct from your total to make it easier?

Ya why are the pictures so small now? Its impossible to even see the animals that are labeled, much less determine their scientific name! :cry:

It gets more difficult as your score increases

Ah, you've reached the fun part! You must ask yourself: "what would that be if I could see it?". It is often surprisingly possible. :)

naw, it's the same for everybody
It's actually easier now as the point scheme was revealed a couple weeks ago.

An HP laptop and ever-strengthening reading glasses. I need to quit while I can still see. :sl:

(I hope this isn't a repeat post, I'm having trouble getting through)

An HP laptop, well no wonder your having trouble - I used to work for them and wouldn't own one! :sl:

I just want to point out that I am now at 666 points... maybe I should stop playing now since I'm still a long way from the top 10, just so I can keep that total.

Would it be ethical to leave hints here so more 4 pointers would show up? ;)

I can tell you what 2927 and 2937 are... :) and when I hiked them :sl:

Oooops. Now when those are solved, Joe will put up 6 pointers. Any attempts to game the game are self-defeating (or countered by Joe). He's relentless at maintaining the integrity of the game.

There is no answer to that one. I'll even offer 3 beers at 4 Peaks to whoever gets it. I won't even let the offer expire. Just PM me when you guess it and I'll meet you at 4 Peaks with my tab open. Anyone?
I'm looking for an excuse to drink beer at four peaks tonight. But there's still nobody on my free beer offer... :(

The answer to #255 is so simple it will probably mar the human thought process once revealed.

If nobody answers it soon, people will start writing books about it like they do the Dutchman.

Invalid Entry :: Error C07 - 1253645306

Okay why did I get this message when trying to solve 255?

Hmm... what did you type in? That's the error code for cheating chums.

Actually that's for "photo". That's not the answer and you can't use photo in an answer ;)
