Countdown to one with Google!

[Zohar]

The idea came to me while read the "Googladiator" thread.

Try a one or two word search on Google. The next poster needs to find a one or two word search with fewer results. No "zero" results allowed.

Also, it would be very easy to get down to double digits but try to move slowly, I think it'd be more fun. It's kind of like Google fight but in reverse, I guess.

The result number changes from day to day (and sometimes from country to country) so I don't think there's much use to check previous results. Besides, you will only be cheating yourself!

So, let's start with a nice, big number:

"see" - 2,390,000,000 results

edit: In order to forcefully slow down the game, I propose that until we get below 100 results or so, each poster needs to find a search with a least 90% of the results from the previous poster (i.e. next poster needs to find something with at least 2,151,000,000 results).

[DragonRidr]

"one" - 2,370,000,000 results.

I found so many so close to the lower bound of the range. I think I had one that was only 20 mil off. (It would now be only 3 mil off of the target range.)

(Next - at least 2,133,000,000 results)

[Sarcio]

"one"-2,240,000,000 results.
I uh, stole yours. but you had a different number of results?

if that didn't work... "L"-2,190,000,000 results.
can i use a single letter?

next - at least 1,971,000,000 results

[bbctol]

Hmm?

And I already won in that thread.

[Zohar]

This isn't the same game. As stated in the OP, it's very easy to get to double digits (or at least triple digits). The purpose is to find combinations that will only slowly get us down to one.

Here - 1,680,000,000

Next one, at least 1,512,000,000 hits.
