Daniel Russell knows how to find the answers to questions you can't get to with a simple Google query. In his weekly Search Research column, Russell issues a search challenge, then follows up later in the week with his solution?using whatever search technology and methodology fits the bill.
Every so often someone will write in with a fun search challenge. And a while ago, regular reader Dave M., send in this question:
Enclosed is a picture I took in downtown Chicago while crossing the street. The YELLOW blotch on the crosswalk looks like a little man to me. I didn't think it very significant until I was on a trip to Washington D.C. where I saw the YELLOW blotch again in the crosswalk. Now I am on a mission to get an explanation.
I was able to figure this one out in about 3 minutes.
How long will it take you? What's the story with the yellow blotch?
Also... a quick reminder: If you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll probably enjoy the MOOC that I'll be running beginning next Wednesday, Jan 23, 2013. It's the "Advanced Power Searching With Google" Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This class will cover some of the advanced research methods that we discuss in the blog every week.
Sign up now and join in the fun.
Search on!
