Make it easier :/
I just did the Breakfast Club one!
I noticed that the solved image doesn't show for a couple of minutes. Is this normal?

Good work on that one! It wasn't easy.
Yeah that's normal. I should fix it at some point but it's not a big deal so it's low on my todo list.
Two new ones:

I'm getting good at these! Either that, or I am the first one to see it when the pic is clearer...
I thought it looked like Roy Scheider, but had to google him to make sure he had a beard at some point. I also had to make sure it wasn't someone playing him in a biopic!

You weren't the first one. I was checking it a few times a day for the last 2 days and the last time was 2 hours ago, but I did not have a clue who that was.

There are two open pics:
Glad to see this website is still up and running 
Lola La La La La Lola!
Ha at last someone solved this. :-)
Here's the latest one:

EDIT: And AFAIK, you can send coins even if you haven't fully synced the blockchain. At least with the QT client.
Still needs to have enough BTC in the wallet to be able to spend it!
I got an unexpected windfall just in time. BTW, your game is hard! O.O
Did a correction to one of the pictures. Again I forgot to include the correct answer. I mixed up immigrants with refugees...
Here's a new one:
I got the 'Clerks' one Lucky for me, I had my wallet open and didn't have to sync or I wouldn't have won
Lucky for me, I had my wallet open and didn't have to sync or I wouldn't have won That's not true, you'd still win. The site has no way to know if you are aware of the block confirming your correct answer (i.e. if you have synced client). Also, after I release the bet payment to the bitcoin network, there is no way to cancel it.

EDIT: I accidentally posted an admin link instead of the image url but don't worry it doesn't work from any computer other than my own. ;-)

Ahh that sucks. Oh well, cost me only .005BTC. Loved it! Shows that I can do it, will look for another one soon!
I put a bet! Hope it's right!
EDIT: Hell yeah! I won! Clerks! Now waiting for payout..
EDIT2: Hum. Got my bet back. Was I too late?

Probably. I see two people betting on Clerks, 6 minutes apart. In about 10 minutes those two bets will be visible in the last txs page. (They only appear there after two confirmations)
Now this is bad luck for you. You two are basically confirmed by the same block, but the other buy was 6 minutes faster so his answer is checked first. :-/
EDIT: Actually you are already visible in the txs page. I was looking at an old tab which I hadn't refreshed a long time. Also only the hintless picture is open now. I'll add two more in a while. :-)

Here is a hintless picture after a long time: 
Also, the contact button doesn't work, and when I tried a different browser, Avast came up saying there was a trojan on the page.
Virustotal says site is clean: https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/40eccf336c323c4bf615e34cc97cf15dcaca553d2363003e9f1f3fdd442344c0/analysis/1372677169/
Now the contact button though seems to work on all my browsers. Can you tell me what OS and browsers you tried? I wild guess is that some spyware/toolbar/other-plugin messed up the javascript on apophenia which causes both the contact button to not work AND Avast to complain about the scripts on the page. Could it be that?
EDIT: There may have been a little problem with the payout, I'm checking this now. No need to worry everyone will get what he/she should.
EDIT2: All set. I had to send a second pot to the actual winner. While my bitcoind was offline some addresses expired and when I turned it back on it checked the still valid addresses so it awarded the pot to someone who had answered recently. But someone had answered correctly before that and his address had expired. In any case everybody should be getting what he is owed now, if you think for any reason that you got a wrong amount just tell me.
