Found out it is an employment company located in Amersterdam. Truck has Luykx on it -also a Dutch company. Then did an image search and found someone had posted answer from when this picture was posted earlier. So got our answer from there. http://ipadders.eu/google-search-challenge-with-nearpod/ verified that Randstad was near the Van Gogh museum<br />2) was much easier challenge. Dropped picture (after cropping -before cropping google results just said it was a building- thanks we had figured that out already!LOL). After cropping search result said Oklahoma State Univ. Looked on their website, found campus map and found very similar picture. <br />Will work on #3 now.<br />Debra Gottslebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074610468240387547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-79734414225039606912017-04-02T17:11:46.766-07:002017-04-02T17:11:46.766-07:00Dr. Russell, Remmij and everyone, have any of you ...Dr. Russell, Remmij and everyone, have any of you found other users of this Google project?https://posts.google.com/share/ahBw4gx6<br /><br />I found this with [mlb] on tablet.And for me is new and it doesn't show always.
