10 Tips and Tricks you can Use on Google
Nowadays, the internet has become the new way the world gets information. How do we do this? Well, for starters, we search it up on Google. In fact, people search google so much that some dictionaries have listed down “Google” as a verb. However, we have figured out that you can also have fun with google. People all around the world have been exploiting easter eggs that google secretly embedded into the programming of the google search engine itself. We are here to help share the secrets, and let everyone know about the fun you can have with google. Now, let’s see the easter eggs!
EASTER EGG #1:
Did you know that if you search up “askew” or “tilt” on google, the page will be slightly tilted? It is disorienting to use, yet fun to share with others. A neat little trick.
EASTER EGG #2:
You can search up “Do a barrel roll” and your entire google page will turn 360 degrees! I warn you though, you may see a the end of google (A white screen)!
EASTER EGG #3:
You can type in “Goglogo” on google and hit the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button to see a webpage where you can enter your name where it says “Enter Your Name”. Then, you will have a custom google page with YOUR NAME in place of google! Unfortunately, you can’t search google with it, which is awfully sad, but you can take a picture of it and show it off to your friends!
EASTER EGG #4:
Okay, this is a really special one just because it’s one you can entertain yourself with for a long time! This trick is, you go to http://www.google.com/pacman/ and you can hit the “Insert Coin” button. Then, you can play pacman! Only, it’s not the same obstacles as pacman. The obstacles are GOOGLE!
EASTER EGG #5:
Google will love you once you search this up on google. Simply type in “(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(200x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(9-x^2), -sqrt(9-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5” and have see google have a big blue heart. Of course, we probably could never do that yourself with that kind of calculation, but google can!
EASTER EGG #6:
Google is the master beatbox now when you go to this website and hit the speaker button. It actually says “Beatbox” when you hover over it!
EASTER EGG #7:
If you search up “The answer to life, the universe, and everything” on google, it will bring up google calculator and it will say “The answer to life, the universe, and everything = 42”. I wonder why they chose 42...
EASTER EGG #8:
Google Calculator appears to know everything! Search up “The number of horns on a unicorn”, and it will tell you exactly how many horns a unicorn has! Now, the question is, where is the unicorn Google is keeping to get this information...
EASTER EGG #9:
If you search up “recursion”, it will ask you: “Did you mean: Recursion?”. That’s funny, because the meaning of recursion is actually repeating things in a self-similar way. You can click on the Recursion in “Did you mean: Recursion” forever! Google has created their own infinite loop.
EASTER EGG #10:
And last but not least, you can search up “Once in a blue moon” to get Google to tell you exactly this:
| * | once in a blue moon = 1.16699016 × 10-8 hertzMore about calculator. |
‘
Wow... I wonder what a hertz is, and if we can actually predict when the next blue moon will come!
I very strongly encourage you to try out these tricks, and give us feedback whether you like this. If you do, I will write more cool things you can do with Google!
Question: What is a baker’s dozen? Go search it up on Google!
