Fake or Photo?

I swiped this off of Blue’s News–it’s a test where you look at photos and try to determine whether they’re real, or CG. There are ten in the first round and four in the following “bonus round.” I’ll buff my nails against my chest and mention that I guessed all 14 correctly the first time through…although I admit that on three of them, I felt like either answer might be right, and most of them required a close examination. Anyway, give it a whirl.

I think I liked the boob test better.

I refuse to even try. A talented CG artist can recreate any of those photos in a computer, whether they were originally CG or not.

9/10 of the base set, and 4/4 on the bonus.

Perhaps a more experienced CG artist would know to include some minor variations and flaws, but as it is, the CG images are still too perfect and stand out because of it. Of course, given enough time, any image can be recreated to sufficient detail (imperfections and all), and most of the images shown are good enough to stand up to a cursory inspection (i.e. I would not have been very accurate if not for the ability to zoom in on the images).

You stole this from Blue’s News :P

I missed the one with the bent nails. The nails just looked too perfect and identical, like an object that duplicated a few times.

Whoa, I’m so busted!!

Woof

Dammit Ben…where’s the spoiler warning?!? Now my perfect score cannot be trusted having seen your post first.

EDIT: OK I just took the test for real. There were 2 nail pictures which I evidently got both wrong. My score: 2 out of 10 w/ cheating.

7 out of 10 without cheating, and just looking at the thumbnails.

Awesome! Well, unless you consider you had a 50-50 chance for each one.

9 out of 10. I thought the one with the wet table and chair was CG.

You got a bad score, Matt?

I got six, and I need glasses.

Does 2/10 make me blind or gullible or stupid? Or (d)?

10/10, although that one with the bent nails almost fooled me.

9 out of 10. The one with all the nails scattered around got me.

8/10. Yeah scattered nails and golf ball world got me.

Especially at these thumbnail sizes. For the record, I thought they were all CG, and therefore scored 5/10.

Excellent, a superior performance–ten out of ten answers were correct.

If you got a perfect score on the first try then you’re a REAL genius

Meh, this was first try. Ditto the bonus 4. A couple real ones looked like they might be really really good CG, but the CG were easily identifiable enough that I figured it was unlikely the trend would change. Roger, you realized you can click on them for a larger version I hope :)
