Did you know? Google Fun Facts There are various hidden jokes and little time wasters in almost every Google web service, product or new device. Here are some hidden gems users have documented over the years – they are called Easter Eggs! • If you search "What is the answer to life the universe and everything" in Google it will come up with the answer 42, which was made famous in the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Interestingly, 42 is the sum of all numbers on a pair of dice, implying life is just a just a roll of the dice! • If you search 'askew' or 'tilt' in Google the screen will tilt • Search for “Google In 1998” and the search results will appear in the style of a website from 1998, when the company was founded • Type "blink HTML" into Google and the resulting page will feature blinking text • Type “do a barrel roll” into the search bar and Google dutifully obeys. Please note some tricks work only on some browsers. E.g. Barrel roll worked fine in Firefox or Chrome but did not work in Safari.
