Most of us get bored and need ways to spend our time. Thats when reading facebook updates of friends or browsing through other social networking media seems mundane and hackeneyed. Playing Solitaire on XP is too old school. This is the age of "The Internet".
At one such occassion when I was trifling my time, I thought of a simple game. The idea is not fully developed so use your imagination to build up on it.
The game requires you to Google. You must be thinking "googling is what I do to find anything under the sun but my missing shoes or pen, what is so new about it".
So where is the fun part?
Here is the game:
Search for a phrase. Note down the number of search results returned by Google. Your aim is to reduce the number of search results returned. That sounds simple...Right? Wrong!
Let n be the number of results returned by Google and s be your score for that query.
Play by the rules:
1. You are not allowed to search junk words. The words in your search query should be valid dictionary words.
2. If your search result returns the name of any person or place as the first result
s = 20*n
3. If n < 30 then s=1000,000. Penalty for searching something that will barely return any results.
4. You are discouraged to repeat search terms that were used in your previous queries. So if you use x terms in your query that have been used earlier, then your score can be something like
s = n*(x+1)
Add your own rules Here
In all other cases your s = n
Who knows you might end up discovering something new?
If still you are not able to pass your time, then write a blog post like this one.
