Today I participated in a contest, a web surfing contest. To be precise: the Trail Blazers Web Surfing Contest #5 atTransmediale 2013 BWPWAP. What’s so special about this web surfing contest?
In seven rounds, eight surfers are sent to specific trails they must complete only by clicking real hyperlinks. During each round a surfer drops out. If after 15 minutes, more than one surfer is still working to reach the goal, a rush to cat/gif/earth-images speeds things up. No keyboard, no Google, no copy/paste … just real hyperlinks!
These were the 7 rounds:
Round 1:
