Photo puzzle - Name the city [3 SBD reward pool]

avatar
(Edited)

Puzzle solved! After removing only one puzzle piece (B2) which revealed nothing else but blue sky, @obvious gave the correct answer. The photo was taken in Düsseldorf! Congrats, @obvious. You see me deeply puzzled ;)

Greetings Steemians!

Let’s try a little fun game:

In which city have I taken this photo?

Name the puzzle piece in a comment that you want to see removed next. Reply with your guess as soon as I have updated the image accordingly.

First correct answer will be rewarded with 3 SBD minus 0.25 SBD for each removed puzzle piece.

Only the Steemian who has removed a puzzle piece can place the subsequent guess. Puzzle pieces will be removed in chronological order.

Let’s see how this works out :)

Have fun and happy guessing!

Absolutely unbelievable, Düsseldorf is the correct answer! What was it, the shade of blue? Incredible...

Congratulations, 2.75 SBD are on their way.

Yeah, it was the blue.. I compared it to images in your previous posts.. here is how it looked like:

and i thought, the blue gradient seems to be very similiar to that, so I guessed the city ;)

Just lucky ;)

I wouldn't see it that way. The next photo I'm going to use will not be found in my blog, so let's see how that goes :)

Love the idea @shaka :)

I wonder how automated and interactive it could be? A self updating post based on comments would be pretty handy for some things like auctions.

Now, that would be a killer feature at steemblockchain, @tarazkp. But I’m afraid it won’t be possibe… we are in third year, and we still don’t have a reliable search machine yet, which should be easier to implement.

Thank you very much @obvious, I have tried it without reading instructions and was deeply disappointed at first. But after reading it, I can say it is an excellent addition to the Steemit Toolkit. Finally! Bravo @good-karma!

My only suggestion would be that homepage must have either help link or at least few simple examples how to use it.

Thanks @tarazkp, glad to hear that!

I realised already the potential difficulties in doing this manually. E.g. if someone names a puzzle piece to be removed but then doesn't place a guess right afterwards the entire flow is stalled. So I would need to define a time-window in which a guess needs to be placed. Then again, users who are next in the row need to be notified as soon as it is their turn so that they don't miss their time window.

Really tricky. Automation could probably solve this but this is unfortunately not within my capabilities. Let's see, a few people come to my mind with whom I could talk about it.

Thanks for you comment!

It would be an interesting interface to be able to build little games and competitions on. With some thought and creativity I am pretty sure that someone could make a decent and fun app. :)

I would suggest you get in contact with @lordnigel. He has this intaractive adventure game #ibt that relies on users giving commands with a comment and there is a program answering and calculation your points.
For the timing problem I would suggest that you have some pictures ready for a post (lets say 10) and just only allow 10 players per round. Maybe if they don't proceed within 1hr you could open up your spot. Or you just go wild west style and just let everybody turn a tile (maybe only every 10min?) and just award the fastest player.

Hey @shaka. Just wanted to stop by and thank your for supporting my blog. It's extra appreciated these days with price/earnings down. I've been traveling the world for the past 12 years living on investments and an income from my computer, so thanks again for the contribution. Have a great day. From Odessa Ukraine! -Dan "World Travel Pro!"

By the way, up-voted and following :)

Ahhahahaha!
I just read your latest post and thought: Huh? What, what should I guess? And only then did I gradually come to the conclusion that everything had already been solved and that the riddle no longer existed.

But what a beautiful and creative idea that is! Next time I want to join in and see a particle disappear that might bring me closer to the solution.

It's great that you're expanding your frame and letting photography come up with new ideas. I also love to experiment and don't like to limit myself to something repetitive for a long time.

Thumbs up for this beautiful imaginative refreshing post!

Hi Erika, sorry for my late reply, I was out in the sticks for the last 3 days..

Thanks for your positive comment, I'm glad that you like this fun idea. I think I'll continue this in a weekly format, so I'll bring up the next puzzle on Wednesday!

Cheers!

Thanks for letting me know, so I can partake in the next riddle.

No problem with late replies, I was lazy myself and made a trip over the weekend, not in the sticks but in the sand. :)
