8/10

Got the two cars wrong. Some of the CGI ones were really obvious. Like the monkeys and the coffee.

Heh, the coffee pic has the coffee in the spoon level relative to the spoon, not to the horizon/gravity.

Excellent! Nine out of ten answers were correct

 :D


And it would have been 10/10.. I kept looking at the tiles beneath the car and saying to myself that it's a CGI...but the bacground prompted me to select real in the end.

Did it as quickly as possible, just initial, first glance impressions and got 8/10. I suspect the human eye is pretty good at these sorts of things (Something similar to uncanny valley I guess).

9/10.  I thought the one with the monkeys was real.  Although it looked textured, the screw holes threw me off.

8/10. I saw the shadow underneath the car; it looked fake. I messed up the diamonds and the weird razor or comb or whatever it is. The wisks looked too floaty to me, too perfect.
Interestingly enough, this signature is none of the following:
A witty remark on whatever sad state of affairs the world may or may not be in
A series of localized forum in-jokes
A clever and self-referential comment on the nature of signatures themselves.

Certain pictures had indetifying features. For example, the background on the car looked fake.

Actually, I thought the tiles that the car was on looked fake, personally. The background looked suspicious though, but the tiles really clinched it for me.

Yeah, like the logo on the coffee cup.  :doubt:

The quality of the car image still bothers me a bit, its suspiciously good :doubt:

edit:
Ok, found a bit more of it http://www.propergraphics.com/vehicles/bmw7e65.htm
Some of that looks more like CGI.
