Now let's do it!
|
|
Hello and welcome to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
This is Pokey.
|
|
I'm coming to you Dave Yates style today from the car for what is for me an uncharacteristic
|
|
show, a short one.
|
|
I figured out something really cool today and it was a neat little hack that I thought
|
|
maybe like I don't know one person might be interested in but I found out how to totally
|
|
game those little find the differences games they got them they got like I was playing
|
|
a free one on my Android phone or I know like the heaven bars sometimes and people are all
|
|
impressed if you're any good at them but I found out how to do those things very very easily
|
|
if it's a side by side picture at least I don't know about a top to bottom I haven't seen
|
|
one of those where they split the screen top to bottom but if the picture goes side by side
|
|
try looking at the thing just the same way that you would look at one of those old magic
|
|
eye posters where one eye looks you know your left eye looks at the left one and your right eye
|
|
looks at the right one at the same time and then you kind of focus in on it it's not that hard to
|
|
do with a little bit of practice but if you do that the differences pop out at you like they're
|
|
in 3D if there's been something removed or added from the picture it almost looks three-dimensional
|
|
a little bit harder to tell is where they don't remove an item but they might change its color
|
|
and if the colors are very different from one another then it almost seems to shimmer I guess
|
|
might be a word for it I don't know it's maybe takes on like a metallic hue or something I don't
|
|
know it looks different it looks weird if the colors real different if the colors are close
|
|
or if the thing they change the color on is really small you might not see it that way it might
|
|
be too hard to see but otherwise yeah you can you can spot stuff really like almost instantly
|
|
you can spot stuff but then if you go to reach in front of your face and tap on the thing because
|
|
they're always touch screen games you know if you go to reach in front of your face and tap on it
|
|
then your finger will break your focus and the rest of the things you won't be able to find them
|
|
you'll have to like refocus your eyes again like that and that actually takes a second but it's
|
|
quick if you can do it once spot all the things and memorize but it's usually like five things
|
|
at the fine memorize where those five things are and then focus your eyes back to normal and just
|
|
tap where those five things where you you won't even you'll do it so fast it's so quick you won't
|
|
even recognize what the five things are you're just touching on the five spots on the screen
|
|
where things jumped out at you you might not even be able to tell what the particular object was
|
|
but I thought that was really cool it was really fun and then like if you can't like I said if you
|
|
can't find the fifth thing look for a tomato or a like a pepper or lipstick because those are
|
|
things that they like to change the colors on that are real small that's a little more difficult
|
|
to notice the change colors and peppers a lot and it's hard to tell since they come in so many
|
|
colors it's it doesn't jump out at you immediately no matter which way you do it but yeah I thought
|
|
that was really cool I was playing the game on my Android phone and my high score was like 35,000
|
|
and once I figured that trick out my very next score was like over half a million if that tells you
|
|
anything and then on the timed one I went from like taken maybe 15 or 20 minutes I think I don't
|
|
know I rolled that high score off the screen and then like as I figured it out it went from from
|
|
that to 11 minutes and then down to five and down to three minutes for the thing that used to
|
|
take me like five minutes and then that's after that's when I tried the you know the straight up
|
|
high score one in my high score from 35,000 to like well over half a million so I thought that
|
|
was a cool trick in pressure friends at bars you win bar tricks that way and just amazing people
|
|
and they won't know how the hell you're doing it and and you can have a lot of fun with it maybe
|
|
try to win a drink or something or win a bar bet but neat little life hack for a game that I'm sure
|
|
everyone has seen or played at least once all right hey thanks a lot that's it for me today
|
|
sorry it was less of a serious one but have a little fun with it if you can all right see you
