    I guessed the top right of his hat - but I think Comping Rich may have got there first lol.

    That's where I thought, plus I think I can confirm that it is there, by the following method:
    1 open this link in Firefox ... http://www.mrbloomsnursery.com/ben-faulks-mr-bloom.png
    2. Right click the image
    3. Left click on view image info
    4. you should get info on when the page was last updated, if you click on the general tab you will see that the image was updated on 09 September 2012 23:21:38 (Yesterday)

    I hope I was the first to find it:D but if not I would like to know who beat me to it

    Don't mean to burst your bubble, but that same technique works for half the images on the websites... e.g. http://www.abneyandtealclub.com/abney-doll-large.jpg

    The website may automatically update at particular times or something.

    I'm not saying your guess is wrong - as I can't see any other guesses that haven't been rejected, but as a method of confirming it, that isn't quiiiite right.

  • Have to say, this all looks a little tenuous at the moment! There's not been one yet that I've thought - "that's just ridiculous, you can't tell what that is..." but I would think that about this one by his hat!

    On another point, where are we getting this idea that the Kindle is off? I've only just got to the e-mail and started looking (checking here to see if I was wasting my time first! ;)) and I can't see anything in the e-mail about the kindle being off?

    Some people are getting vague clues and answers through from the people running the competition, who are responding with "Nope" to guesses. Presumably someone asked whether the kindle was on or off and had it confirmed.

    I'm waiting for the first clue to come out now - as I've tried what I consider all my "sensible" guesses!

    I didn't know it would be off until I read it here also!
    Plus, if the above is a method for quickly pinpointing the image you need to be looking at, imagine all the people who had an upperhand in these comps previously :think:
    Thanks to all who post comps! :A
  • Hmm, good point CXL. Suddenly wish I was a web developer! ;)

    You wouldn't necessarily be spoiling other compers fun, if you have found it you could post the link to where it is, it might not even be it, but if it is it would mean we can spend time entering other competitions rather than spend hours looking for a picture that has been found!

    Do not publish the location of it if you think you've found it please.

    It will spoil the fun for others.

    Thank you

    Based on the clue that's come out making specific references to "Buttons" and the Mr Blooms website being the only one with buttons, I'm starting to this this one must be the right one. Have you had any confirmation email to say otherwise?
