has everyone seen the google doodle for 8 july? 66th anniversary of the roswell incident reporting

[niyad]

interactive doodle with sound--very cool!!

[Tx4obama]

1. Took me forever to finally get the third piece and get to the end.

For some reason I had sound.

What did the sound sound like?

[Mojorabbit]

4. I can't figure where the gas can fits in! nt

[NuclearDem]

6. I only ever used it to make the animals grow

It seemed mostly for comedic value though.

[Tx4obama]

17. It makes the tree get fatter and then you can get onto the roof with the feather. n/t

[NuclearDem]

18. Yeah, I just realized that. I always got that piece through the doorbell method.

[Tx4obama]

11. It's something like radioactive water - it makes the tree fatter so you can get to the roof

... where the sleeping girl is and use the feather to get the last part of the spaceship.

The can also makes the horse big,
and another piece of the spaceship will fall there too.

[Thor_MN]

22. You must not have had sound..

By the goofy chuckle when you use the feather on the sleeping person, it's most definitely a guy.

[Tx4obama]

25. Correct. The Google thing messed up my sound and I had to reboot my computer.

and then I did the Google again and had sound for a few seconds at the beginning and then the sound messed up again

[MADem]

2. VERY cool!!

5. I couldn't get past the chicken.

Anyone have the inside line on this game?

[NuclearDem]

7. You have to get the three parts for your spaceship

You get the first right off the bat.

Second you get by unhooking the cow, grabbing the horseshoe from the barn and pulling it off the roof of the barn.

Third you get by ringing the door bell repeatedly until you hear it fall from the sleeping guy.

That's really about it.

[leveymg]

8. I got the horseshoe, a sack, tried ringing the doorbell repeatedly. Nobody answered - sound off.

[The Straight Story]

9. Drag the sack to the chicken to feed it (nt)

[Tx4obama]

13. After the chicken is fed and flies away - a feather will be left behind. n/t

[Tx4obama]

14. After getting the rope from the cow ....

have the alien go down the hole by where the cow's mouth is,
he will drop down the hole and that's where the radioactive water can is.

[NuclearDem]

10. Nobody will answer it. Just ring it four or five times

The person sleeping will wake up and drop the third part.

[Tx4obama]

12. I tried ringing the door bell several times -- then have the alien walk a bit to the right and...

... and the spaceship part will be on the ground on the path.

[Mojorabbit]

21. So I fed the chicken grain for nada? LOL nt

[starroute]

15. There must be different ways to win it, then

I got the rope, the radioactive watering can, and the feed sack -- which enabled me to get the feather from the chicken. But I never found a use for the rope. I never got a horseshoe. And the person never woke up -- I had to make the tree grow and then climb up and tickle them with the feather.

I also got one part that fell off the roof of the barn when I made the horse grow. I didn't find anything on the path.

And it wasn't at all clear to me what any of it had to do with Roswell.

[Tx4obama]

16. After you get all the parts of the spaceship...

The alien flies away in it.

Then you get an image of a newspaper with the news of Roswell, when you click on the newspaper it bring up Google search results for Roswell - that is the end of it.

The horseshoe is over the door on the barn, click on the horseshoe and it will move over to the left part of the screen.

I couldn't figure out what to do with the rope either.

Ringing the door bell several times makes the last part of the spaceship fall off the roof but the alien has to walk a bit to the right before you see it on the ground on the path.

[Tx4obama]

24. If you have the horseshoe/rope combo then you can drag it over the horse's head

and put it on the spaceship part there and it will fall down.

Or just water the horse and it will get big and the piece will fall that way too.



LOL - I must be bored tonight

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. Quickest solution...

[Tx4obama]

20. And a text explanation to go with the video, on the link below

Here: http://3d-car-shows.com/how-to-play-the-roswell-ufo-incident-google-doodles-game/

[Tx4obama]

23. Hmm. Watched the video and it skips going down the hole to get the can...

and skips tickling the sleeping person on the roof with the feather too.

[Tx4obama]

26. Here's a longer video below that has MORE stuff in it...

Goodnight everyone

[pamela]

27. Very cool. Thanks!

I love Roswell. It's so strange and quirky. We spent two weeks at a state park near Roswell this spring. I have some pics of the museum and town on my blog if anyone is interested. http://postcardsfrompamandlarry.blogspot.com/2013/05/roswell.html

[niyad]

33. thank you for the link to your pics and blog--have not been to roswell in many years, so

enjoyed seeing it again.

[tomm2thumbs]

28. I fed the horse radioactive water... (sowwy)

And it grew in the barn, knocking down a piece of the ship.

I think there are definitely more ways to get the ship put together. Cute doodle

[wandy]

29. Cool, thanks. I'm not much for conspiracy theories but did you ever notice..........

Not much changed in the way aircraft were designed from the Wright brothers to the DC-3.
Then after the Roswell incident, well lookey over there, it's an SR-71 Blackbird.
Somewhere after the Roswell incident, around 1951, Bell Labs made themselves a transistor.
The vacuum tube would become a thing of the past.
Shortly there after IBM figured out how to turn whole bunches of them thar transistor things into a practical 'thinking machine'.

How the heck did anyone figure out that radial ply was better than bias ply for tiers.

No, you will never convince me that Roswell is more than interesting myth. American folk lore.
And while you're at it, would you mind explaining to me just how the heck a J-Fet works?

[Ex Lurker]

30. I believe there has been contact

perhaps substantial and ongoing contact, since at least the 1940's. Where there's smoke..

[wandy]

31. Well, I can't quite buy into that...............

After all, my government has provided no proof that we have been contacted. Place any sarcastic or ha ha tags you wish here.
Now, could we have stumbled across some wreckage in the middle of the desert that might have changed our technology?
That, might well be possible.
Think about it.
Would any advanced culture want to have anything to do with a people so warlike / self destructive as we appear to be?
Sad to say, but our first use of any advanced tech would likely be to try to kill off the people who gave it to us.
But accidents happen. We may have found something by luck.
But who knows. We may change. We might become worth looking into.
Or we might be able to use the incredible power needed to reach our nearest star without destroying ourselves in the process.

[Thor_MN]

32. You could look to Lilienfeld's patent, but it was filed in 1926...

http://www.google.com/patents/US1745175

So the theory existed well before Roswell, but precision semiconductor manufacture didn't exist yet.

[wandy]

38. Interesting, thanks, didn't know about Lilienfeld...........

Two things of interest....
Note that all amplifying stagers are strictly class 'A' . Each stage would need to deal with the positive and negative component of the signal. Very typical amplifier design for that era. Very accurate design, though a bit expensive.
Note the transformer coupling between stages. This would allow the DC component to remain constant between stages. DC blocking was almost always used but done more cheaply with coupling capacitors.

Here a small but somewhat typical design for a modern class 'AB' 'BTL' amplifier.

http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/product.do?id=NCP2991

Note how the resistor 'network' combined with the transistors switching ability protects the speaker from the DC Bias.

So maybe we didn't learn about transistors from some pile of space scrap found in the desert.
Maybe we learned how to design a balanced transformer-less load.
Not saying their ever was a pile of space junk in the desert. Oh, if their was, it might have given us some ideas. But look again at that BTL circuit.
It's kind of intuitive.
Just not in the design mind set set of the 1920s.

35. Roswell is a great place if you ever get a chance to visit...

you probably don't need more than a day or so there, but if you have the opportunity to drive through on a road trip it's really a lot of fun with all the alien stuff there and the UFO Museum and stuff. Even the McDonald's is shaped like a UFO.

I do believe a UFO crashed in Roswell and the govt is covering it up. We'll learn the truth someday.

[niyad]

36. I have been there, and enjoyed it very much

[Egalitarian Thug]

37. Another good one. n/t
