Here are some facts i felt are worth trying once.
1. Play “Atari Breakout”(Google Images)
Go to Google Images, type "Atari Breakout", hit the Search button, wait for a second for the game to start.
2. Play Pacman
Type "Pacman" and click Search. Click to start playing the game.
3. Play Zerg Rush
Type "zerg rush" and click Search in Google Search to play this cheeky game. Your page is taken over by little o’s and you have to click on them destroy them, before they destroy your search results.
4. How to Pronounce Big Numbers
To have Google Search teach you how to pronounce big numbers, just type in the figure then add an equal (=) / (in) plus English. This works for up to 13 digits only. This works only for English language.
5. Solve Geometrical Shapes
With google search you can solve for geometrical shapes such as circle, rectangle, triangle, trapezoid, ellipse etc. Type “solve” and add a shape e.g. "solve triangle", click the search button and it will return you with a calculator to solve that shape. You can choose to solve for area, perimeter, gamma, height, side (a) or side (c). Each shape carries a different calculator.
6. Generate a Graph Right from Google Search
You can also generate a graph instantly for a mathematical function. For instance, search "graph for x^2" or "graph for tan(x)" and so on. The search results return with the graph drawn.
7. Calculate the Waiter Tip with Google Tip Calculator
If you are poor with math but not with tips, use Google’s Tip Calculator to do the math for you. Search "tip calculator" , enter your bill amount, tip % and select the number of people contributing to the bill to get how much your tip is.
8. Currency Conversion
Although currency conversions could be done via Google Currency Converter but if you want to perform currency conversion directly from Google search bar then just type the currency you want to convert from and into like this: 100 gbp to usd. The search result will return with the converted amount.
9. Rock and roll
Type "do a barrel roll" to make it do just that.
10. Searching for "google in 1998" gives you a retro version.
11. Type "askew" or "tilt" and see what happens.
12. Type "mi.google" as it's mirror image, i.e. "elgoog. im", in the url and see the magic. Everything you will see after this would be the mirror image of the google page.
