What a pity that the game is finished. I hope you'll contact me when you decide to make a new web pursuit game. When you know what or who is on the picture it is not too difficult, but the challenge starts when you don't. I have bookmarked some pages which I know I will return to quite regularly. Without this game I would never have noticed them.
Champion: The most difficult section yet was the most interesting and taught me a lot. Some questions I can cruise through and some I get really stuck.
Junior: [beep] were too easy compared to the other sections.
Amateur: The 2 last questions of the [beep] theme were very difficult as you do not know the make of the [beep]. Once you found this, it is not too hard. Glad to have finished this section.
Novice: It took me about 10 minutes to finish the music section. Most difficult one was [beep]. A bit too easy maybe?

You have produced the most perverse and time-consuming quiz I have ever come across! :-) So many of the questions are easy, if you know the answer. If you don't know the answer however it is so frustrating! The last question was excrutiating. I must have spent at least 20 hours researching this one question. [beep] Anyway, well done. A most enjoyable quiz and I can't begin to think about how long it must have taken you to put this work together! Please DONT tell me if you ever do another one!!!
Grand Master: Well, I got to this level. Some very interesting and enjoyable questions. I just thought I would stake my place at this level before proceeding to Ace!
Champion: I like this web-search a lot! Although there are some very easy questions (easy if you know the answer!) there are some very difficult ones as well. No doubt different people would have different opinions on which ones are difficult! The one that springs to mind was the name of the [beep] sports car (I won't mention it here!) the only clue I had was the hint of the [beep] logo on the front! A quick search through the [beep] site found it. Some questions took just a few minutes, perhaps one or two searches to find. The hardest took a couple of hours (the [beep] bus!) and dozens of searches. In all I think I have spent about six hours to reach this point. I don't know if I want to continue. [beep] are not exactly my speciality! Hints for other searchers? Most of my searches have been with google.com although Alta Vista is much better if you want to put in boolean expressions. You will not find what you want the first time but you may find words and names that suggest other search techniques. Many of the answers can only be found by following this approach. Good Hunting!

Wow ! I thought the last question was excruciating, until I found the trick. There's always a trick ;-)...
Anyway, I'm very impressed by the job you've made here, Carmen, and I'm proud to put the [beep] on my [beep]. For all readers : DO IT, you could learn a lot. And never forget that nomen est omen, specially on the web...
Grand Master :Finally managed to get there. One question to go, but I think last is not least, far from it (for those, like me, who don't know [beep]...). The game reminds me of Fravia a lot... What lies beyond the Ace, is there a 'coveted' challenge ?... Anyway, a tip for newcomers : Google, FAST and Altavista are the only search engines I used.
Amateur C2: :-)))))))))))))))
Finally managed to get it, but the last
question was really a challenge (at least for me). Let's hope this new theme will be
easier, or my shrinker will be very angry
;-))))
Novice B5: Wow ! Well done, Carmen. I've thought the "music" theme was just to warm you, and I was right !
The [beep] theme is very easy...till [beep].html. I'm searching the web for this blue & yellow [beep]
for a while, now, and i'm beginning to despair ! I just know the pic was shot between 1956 and 1992
in [beep], and that's all ! If what follows is that kind of difficult, I'll finish completely mad ! Great job here, with all my due respect.
Novice: I've just finished the 'music' section, and all I've to say is : let's continue. It's a well-crafted introduction to web-searching, remind me of Fravia, although the 1st theme was just, I think, to make you start the real quest :-)

Sometimes ya just gotta get zen on this shit. Thanks for the push Carmen. Peace, Woodmann
Grand Master :My thanks to Carmen for an excellent challenge. Without the inspiration of Fravia, I would not have undertaken such a task.(RR you the man!)
Sadly It must end here:-( For all of those who read these comments, Do this challenge. It may be the single most important thing you learn about searching.
I used 2 search engines, Metacrawler and Google. If you don't know boolean expressions then learn.(although Google made that part easier) Now, Back to that chick in the black latex :-) Peace, Woodmann.

WOOHOO. Well, I made it to the end! I nearly gave up on the bloody [beep] but made it in the end due to the musical assistance of 'Fish' (http://www.the-company.com)
Try it! you know it makes sense!
Senior: It's not easy is it!

My only search engine used was google, sometimes i've been doing the searchs in french to get different answers (note: and it's also easier to me to find the right synonyms for doing the searchs). thanks again
grand master: EASY ;)
champion: that's the real start of the challenge here (expect the amateur section), i take hours to do that one.
expert: so it's part of my knowlegde in my work of sys/net engineer, so things keep easy.
senior: difficult one but if you recognize the [beep], everything goes fine (10mins/question) ... take care Q4 there's different spellings of that name.
junior: even easier than amateur since i already knew the [beeps], no problems at all, should be in the amateur section i think.
amateur: quite difficult this part, but i'm good at recognizing the [beep] so i always get a bonus search criteria. Very difficult to get the last answer, things become interesting.
novice:All easy here, quite a bit of divergent info on the [beep] question but good training.

I finally made it! I started this game well over a year
ago, but lost track and lost interest a few times when I got stumped
on a question.I kept the bookmark around and came back to it from
time to time because I just couldn't stand giving up!
The [beep1] and the [beep2] questions were easily the two
hardest for me. The [beep2] took a solid week (in bits and pieces)
to track down... but at least it was, um, entertaining scanning
gallery after gallery trying to put a name to the face!
