Is today an unusually good day for the Project?

confidence is the key!
let cheater punish themself with words: "i looked up the properties of the image and now have to increase my pledge by $500, i`m really sorry for that"

As many others would but because we're playing with real money (my offer to pledge was legitimate), I had to keep it cryptic. Also, as mentioned, i'm trying to find a way to have a few of these going. If they're too easy, i'll go broke!
well you are wrong, I didn't kick myself. I did look up for a movie called the windmill but I couldn't get any video on google. You actually had me convinced it was an australian movie.

can we have the $5.00 anyway

It's a good idea, if I hadn't only taken out a credit card for the amount I already pledged and no higher I'd do something similar. I suppose I could if that paypal thing comes up afterwards.

Rules are rules :) Plus, by fair admission of the person whom found the answer, albeit outside the timeframe, it was done via a loophole. I will find some other things though, just have to think.
Yeah, plus it was out of the timeframe to answer. I hid my answers as they weren't legit and shouldn't be taken as is. I won't in future though, just having fun after the time limit. Even if I hid them someone might answer with it.

Sorry to double-post (I figure some might not catch an edit, was gonna wait until someone else posted but gotta get going) but:

As for avoiding Googlings, I guess you could take your own screenshot, make your own image or modify an exisiting one off Google a bit (assuming that messes up the Image Search, could plonk Tex in it for the lulz links to some cutouts you can use to drop in below). Then host it on Photobucket so no URL tracing. Perhaps those few things will make it more difficult than literally copying and pasting the URL. Or if an image from Google (not original or edited) is hosted on Photobucket they can still drag and drop the image onto Google (using the new "Search by Image" feature). At the end of the day though, Google is always there so it will just mean its done on faith.
