In honor of iGirl, here’s another installment of our weekly endeavor to make you laugh, have fun and in all cases waste time.

I’m still tense from playing this time waster called “Guess the Google,” from New Zealand digital designer Grant Robinson. It’s a timed, flash-animated game where you see 20 images from Google and you guess what the search was.

At first, I found it impossible. But then I realized that I just needed to guess the simplest answer. Such as ‘pets’ for the image below. I swear I didn’t play for more than, urm, a 30 minutes. By the time I called it quits, I made it into the top 10 scores for the day. Woo hoo!

You get 20 points for the right answer and up to 20 points if you can guess the answer within 20 seconds. Keep in mind, you have to type the exact answer — no typos or other forms of the word.

Some cheats (don’t look if you want a real challenge):

The images often repeat themselves so if you play several times, you’ll recognize images.

Also, often, the answer is plainly written — in text. So if you see words show up in the images, chances are high that you have the answer right in front of you.

Who can best me? I know someone out there will…
