Thanks Bano, Neat! This is pretty fun too. For everyone else, the idea of peekaboom is that you play with a partner again, and your partner sees a label that has been assigned to a picture, and then your partner slowly reveals the image to you, such that you can guess what the label is. So, if the label is "Hair", then your partner presumably reveals to you the hair found in an image, so that you can guess hair. And you take turns, one being the revealer, and the other the guesser. I must admit my success rate with this game was horrible, and I am sure that my partner (anonymous thank goodness) was ready to kill me. I think part of the problem is that images are so multifaceted that it is hard to assign a single simple label to them, and then of course if you have a partner who is not serious and reveals irrelevant parts of the image, then that makes it tough too. But, maybe with a little practice...
I had an interesting experience with Google images, btw, where it points to a conflict between labeler incompetence with wanting to do well on the game. One of the images shown to me and my partner was clearly a plot. So I put labels of plot, line plot, graph, graphical plot...but nothing was matching with my partner. I knew what the problem was, probably my partner had called it a chart, which was wrong, but I went ahead and called it a chart and got my 100 points. :) So there is an interesting issue there about knowing not so much what the image is, but what your partner thinks it is.
