This is really a amazing test, a simple test to see if your computer is capable of processing letters. Firstly open notepad, type the following save the big tiger Save that file as save the big tiger Now reopen that saved file. If you don't get save the big tiger your computer sucks! Don't that make you want to do a virus scan?

Another one of the great mystery of the computer world
Allthough, what I find more baffling is why someone would spend years trying to find silly things like this!

On google. Click here for direct link. Don't that make you just want to Roll on the Floor Laughing.

No, the google calculator is set up by google staff, and not by the software the search engine uses. Same as typing 2+2 into google, it will say 4 not because 90% of the web says 4, but because its the right awnser and has been entered as such. Sorry to burst your bubble ;-)

no I was arguing the point that it wouldn't, as google calculator is based on fact and not search results.

interesting quirk with the tiger thing. Google calculator is one of their best tools, not only does it do standard math but can do all sorts of things, such as conversions. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=miles+in+a+kmhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=yen+in+a+dollarhttp://www.google.com/intl/en/help/features.html#calculator

Well, who finds out the cheat codes in games? People with way too much spare time (or those who make them). Here is something fun: Open Mircosoft Word Type: =rand(0,200) Now press return (Or enter, what ever floats you boat). *Magic!
