Spot the difference: new one for me

last year

I happened across a daily "Spot the difference" from the Smithsonian Magazine. When you spot the difference and click on it, it fixes it. It times you and tells you how many differences you've yet to spot. It was fun! Today's is a photo of an old church door.

There apparently is a problem with the server for this game, and for GoComics, The Far Side and maybe some others I’m not aware of.

Hah! I just learned that if you randomly click all over the picture trying to find that elusive one, the timer adds 10 more seconds with each clicki! Yikes, I was clicking like crazy.

disappointing Hogyoku - try a different spot?
Q
Comments (2)
All fall leaf colors are the result of specific chemicals/compounds being left in the leaf as the tree begins to withdraw nutrients back into the stems and trunk for the winter. I beleive Maple colors are highly dependant on the sugar content in the leaves. So you might want to try a little light fertilizer (organic if possible) and see if this perks up the colors. Weather also plays a crucial role here, which you can't do much about I'm afraid! I bought a Hogyoku this year which I have planted in full sun. So far its doing pretty well (see pix) I'm anxious to see if the colors turn out as advertized! Regards, K4 Hogyoku

One coat paint new color over different first coat?
Q
Comments (6)
Okay, if you're still painting, I think you need some sleep! :-) First of all, it is always advisable to do two coats. You might get what you think is adequate coverage with one, but there will be spots you don't quite cover and YES the color does come into its own with the second coat. Palladian Blue is a far cry from Light Pewter. I think the QM will give you what you are looking for once you have two coats on four walls. Remember, there is a reflectivity factor when paint bounces off itself from wall to wall. The color builds. PB is a very strong blue green. It is lovely, but quite a departure from the gray you started with and I have a hunch that's not what you're after. I'd keep going with the Quiet Moments.

Layout choices two different ones new design opinions please
Q

I think you are probably wise to go with your lesser choice and have the sink in the island. You loved the island plan and it had the sink there. Anyway, you are so much closer to the look you'd hoped for than when you first posted the plan with the bilevel peninsula. I tried to draw things out. I'm not sure how you want to move the fridge and how large you envision the pantry. So here's just an attempt in which I tried something a little different, because if you want a hutch looking piece I'm afraid it has to be wider than you have? I might have some of the measurements off from what you plan for that wall. Also, if you want the sink centered in the island you will have to have 2 ft on each side, which squeezes your dining area. Maybe you didn't plan it centered, though. I have it centered in this plan and you can see how it affects the length of the kitchen to see what you think.

This one looks new to me. Septoria leaf spot again?
Q
Comments (8)
From the LINK I provided You to read: Survival and Dispersal The fungus spends the winter in infected plant debris in or on the soil where it can survive at least one and perhaps several years. It can also be seed borne. New spores are produced the following season. The spores are transported by water, wind, insects, other animals including man, and machinery. Once the initial infections have occurred, they become the most important source of new spore production and are responsible for rapid disease spread.

WoohooWooHoo?! :53! Yep, under a minute! (I accidentally cheated by clicking on one without knowing it, but I’ll take it, to make up for my accidental clicks that added 10 seconds on all the other days.)

Worst ever timing for me. Straight lines have a way of becoming wavy with Macular Degeneration.

1:20 for me. But it kept pausing in one side. When I clicked the other it went through.

I used to hate these types of puzzles but for some reason have been enjoying this one. Thanks for posting it, Annie!

Todays was terrible for me. I couldn't find the last one (for me) so pressed hint but didn't see the hint and so pressed again with, of course, the time increasing. The problem was the hint was at the top of the picture and the hint button is at the bottom and I can't see the whole picture on the screen without scrolling up and down.

Is anyone else having trouble loading the puzzle? Yesterday and today, it's taking forever, just sittin' and spinnin'.

Edit: well, I got it, but I had to reload the page four times.

Awww, me too. I haven't tried yet today but its something I do each morning. I hope they correct it when the weekend is over. Does anyone else find they do better if that day's subject is something interesting to you? I'm lightening fast with animals, plants, gardens, nature.

I had the same problem. I thought it was my browser, but couldn't get it to work on any others either. I've been playing every night, right after Wordle.

Good to know - thanks!

Same problem here as well. Hopefully it's just a server problem. It's not nice to disturb my morning routine.

I just tried it and saw this notice: A note to our players: Due to technical issues arising from our external contractor, Andrews McMeel Universal, we are unable to provide our games at this time. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

They finally posted a message that there are technical difficulties. So they're not planning on discontinuing it.

So it's sort of there - the game comes up but it won't finish loading. So maybe tomorrow. :(
