Default Test my friend's site, guessmyimage.com

He just put this up several days ago. It's still a work in progress. Just try to guess what the image is. It'll reveal more if you're wrong.

Edit:
Just to clarify, it's "multiplayer." Any reveal affects what everyone else sees. I imagine once there are more players, the beginning won't be so slow. But yeah, it's a work in progress.

Takes too long to get to the point of being able to see anything. I quit after 3 "guesses."

It's dumb as hell in the sense that no one is going to stay on the site long enough to guess the image to the end.

However, all of you are underestimating this guy if he really is a close friend--as opposed to an internet marketer. This is one of those sites where they use human brain power to decode images--they use all the info you put in to create complex algorithms to decode images, so the guy running the site is probably smarter than all of us combined.

The holes are probably correlated to the algorithm somehow, but I don't know enough about coding to say anymore. It seems very complicated mathematically.

yeah i was just speaking in the sense that it's dumb because while it may be very complicated and he may be a genius, it's basically worthless. that's all

I screamed BS and quit after one guess. It was clearly a picture of a dirty pirate hooker.

Haha yeah, I've already commented on how slow the beginning can be. I've given him a logarithmic algorithm to use so that it reveals more dots in the beginning than it does towards the end. It helps some, but still needs some tweaking.

Or you could just visit the site later, and let other people do all the initial work, since any amount of reveal shows up for everyone.
