 		Nice work on #18. I tried looking in that area but didn't see it; looking at it now, I can't imagine how I could miss something like that.

Man, that's some crazy layout and architecture. I looked at the pic and thought "no way that's from Google maps."

 		I happened upon this site about a week ago and at the time it was working on my computer. Today... Not so much.
Is it displaying results for anybody else in the form of pictures?

When it was working, on painted portraits and common images , like say, a headshot of Einstein, it was awesome (B/W or color).

For photographs, it did give a wide array of results.
From mostly all images of the person in question when the source was B/W, straight-on and of decent size to no hits when the image was one or more of the following:
Color
Too small
Skewed
Uncommon

the reverse order of the code is:

HTROWELTTUHSTHGIR = RIGHTSHUTTLEWORTH
WREISUBROCABAYACA = ACAYABACORBUSIERW

Now the first one can be divided into 3 words,

RIGHT
SHUTTLE
WORTH

and the first word for the second code can be

ACAYA

which i think is a chain of hotels or something related...other words r yet to make any sense for me...may be they r in some other language


Did anyone get this yet? I don't see it listed on the spreadsheet, so hope I am not repeating.

Actually I believe it is:

WRIGHT
SHUTTLEWORTH
ABRACOS
Abreu
CAYI (letters left over)

ABRACOS's HomePage has Wright, Shuttleworth and Abreu on it: (too much of a coincidence don't yhou think?) I am not good on coordinates - can someone check it?

http://www.cptec.inpe.br/abracos/referen.html


Also, found this info:

G.A.Wright, E.Shuttleworth, M.J.Grimstone and A.J.Bird, "The Status of the General Radiation Transport Code MCBEND", Proc 5th Topical Meeting on Industrial Radiation and Radioisotope Measurement Applications, Bologna, Italy, (June 2002)

 		It's been said a few times but "HTROWELTTUHSTHGIR, WREISUBROCABAYACA" is merely ACAYABA, CORBUSIER, WRIGHT and SHUTTLEWORTH backwards. All are architechts who have featured in the puzzle:

#40 - Villa Savoye designed by Corbusier
#14 - Fallingwater designed by Wright
#24 - Crescent House designed by Shuttleworth
#2 - Olga designed by Acayaba

What they mean and why they're mentioned in this puzzle too is the big question :p
