What does that inkblot represent?


Getty Images is doing a really cool contest/game sort of thing where you are "taken to a room" and shown a line of pictures and an inkblot. You must then QUICKLY say what picture the inkblot is representing. You can play for prizes like a trip to London, an African Safari with National Geographic, or a trip to New York's fashion week. When I got to the pages where I needed to pick what prize I wanted to play for, I didn't really know what to do. I wish it said "Check all that apply."

Anyways, the game is really hard and stressful once you start playing. You "lay down in a chair" and I think it's a very sterile and hospital-like smelling room before you begin to play. Once you press the 'start' button, a timer starts TICKING and you try very hard to get the right answer, but it's SO HARD and then you don't know what picture to pick and so you just pick one because the timer is going so quickly. And then you're wrong...

BUT WAIT!

It still says you have a chance to win. Thank goodness for Getty Images having a heart. I played 3 inkblots (because that's the limit of how many you are allowed to play each day), and won on the third try. Guess it really is a charm, because I don't think I had any real basis for picking the picture that I did that time.

Anyways, check it out. This post will probably make a lot more sense then. And you could win a Safari! If there's a deal where you get to pick someone to go with you, I'm calling that spot right now. No backs.
