Title: Can you spot the penguin?
Post by: Dataman on December 22, 2020, 08:45:08 AM
Nature has been doing this in their Friday briefing this year with the answer each Monday. Hidden in each picture is the same picture of a penguin. Some are easy to find and others incredibly hard. For each picture click on "Can you find the penguin?" for a large pic.

Can you find the penguins?

For those who had trouble finding Leif last week, you are not alone.

Flora Graham, senior editor, Nature Briefing posted today:

"Leif Penguinson hid so effectively on Friday on the shore of the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint, Denmark, that I failed to find our feathered friend in time for yesterday's e-mail."

The answer was not posted until today.  :rofl:

This week Leif went walkabout down under for a fair dinkum hide.

I am amazed, I think my mind works a bit differently to everyone else hear, that one I found easy, but then when you all have mentioned other ones as easy, I find very hard.

Could be the way my prescription is for my glasses, as I am shortsighted and do have gradual bifocal lenses lol.

Post by: Dataman on March 28, 2021, 02:20:53 AM
I find the whole thing amazing. On the ones I find difficult, I search and search and then when I spot it I wonder how I could have missed it. It just jumps out at me. The brain is an interesting bit of machinery.  :wink

BTW, I sent Flora Graham, the editor of the briefing at Nature, an email last week suggesting Leif be reduced 50% to make it more difficult to find.  I got a very nice non-automated reply which said, among other things, that she would forward the suggestion to Tom Houghton their "penguin wrangler" who puts together the weekly picture. I was surprised, in this day and age, to get an actual response.

I think he was well camouflaged Dataman  :compbash: . You'd reckon I be a certainty at this. All those years of sanity checking output produced by my own code and others I tested. Required high levels of pattern matching.  :faint:  Oh well.

I think (just my opinion) the problem is most people look at these on their "stupid" phones with a small screen. On a handheld device it is quite hard to find our mate Leif. On gamers and crunchers big screens, just the opposite. I do enjoy the difficult ones though.

Appears even The Nature Journal makes mistakes.  :shock

"On Friday, Leif Penguinson enjoyed a sojourn on the COVID-free island nation of Nauru.
Unfortunately, I linked to the wrong image: I showed you a trip Leif took last year to the spectacular limestone needles of Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar. Apologies for the mix-up!"

Here's the correct image: (Easier, I think.)

Maybe a Moose or an Elk, and a bear as well lol.

Thanks for asking. We are doing fine but the Holidays are much subdued this year. I am feeling my age and it is not a good feeling.  :wink  Cold here. It was -3.8C this morning with a heavy frost but no snow.

I'm heading up to the boat for the first time later this week. There is still quite a bit of work required to be thoroughly seaworthy. Mostly, fixing or replacing the engine and replacing the rigging stays (the four heavy wires that keep the mast in place).
Then sail her to Victoria, slip her to dryland, and do some work on the hull. So, 2 to 3 months yet but just getting started will be great and very exciting. 👍
I've already purchased a leather backpack for travelling to and from the boat, a sleeping bag to use until the main cabin is clean and a roving Star Link kit for internet access at sea. ($AU178 a month! The hardware was less than 1/2 price though).

As usual I can't find him.  Even when the results are posted when I look at the original one it is hard to see even when I know where it is.  Must be something to do with old eyes and colour blindness.  :LD

Isn't it strange how some find ones hard and some easy -this one to me was very quick a quick look with my usual scan method and bingo, but some times when other of the group say it was easy I could not find it.

I would put it down to everyone has differences in seeing/perceiving colours, contrast and hues. Certain colours stand out more or less to everyone. Being colour blind might also play a role for those affected. Another gauge might be how well someone sees in the dark - something something rod and cones something something.

They are certainly getting harder for me.

All is good here. Summer is ending and temp's are getting cooler. It has been another strange weather year. We have had a measurable amount of rain in every month except July so far. That never happens. It does not rain here between May and September ... except this year.

Leif is visiting the mangroves in the Princess Alexandra National Park on the Turks and Caicos Islands one day earlier than usual. (Yet another 4-day weekend at Nature so the answer will not appear until Tue. but no worries as it is easy.)

Yes I found that one as well.  The last one I couldn't see even after the result was published looking at the original.  :smilefriday
