Roulette "I'm lucky"

Hello! Recently I was scrolling through twitter and came across a tweet from Google Russia. Google decided to remind about their Easter eggs. I decided to see what was prepared there. Now I want to tell you! All under the cat...

1) Back in 1998.
So the first Easter egg takes us back to the past, namely to 1998. It was in 1998 that Google was registered as a private company. In this way, Google is trying to show that they have always fought for a simple user interface. In order to see it with your own eyes in the English version of the search engine, enter the following " google in 1998", without quotes, and the results will appear in the interface that the search network had in 1998.

2) Sweet Android surprises.
Many people know about this Easter egg, but Google is just crazy about it! Back in 2010, in Android 2.3 Gingerbread, users could stumble upon an interesting Easter egg in the settings. It is not clear in what state the user should have been in order to poke according to the version of Android, but there was a stoned dude who poked according to the version and told the whole world. As I already wrote, to find the Easter egg, you need to go to your phone settings and click on the Android version several times.

IN Gingerbread a zombie gingerbread and an Android figure appears surrounded by zombies;
IN honey comb(Android 3.0) Android bee appears on the screen;
Easter egg in Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 4.0) - this is Android in pixel art, if you keep your finger on it for a long time, then many of the same figures will fly across the screen;
IN Jellybean beans fly across the screen. And in kitkat an animated mosaic of pictures representing different versions of Android appears.

3) Drag me upstairs, Scotty.
To be honest, I didn't understand what it was about. And did not understand after the explanation. According to Google, this phrase is from the Star Trek series. I will not deceive the series, I have not seen it and in general for the first time I hear about it. The phrase "Beam Me Up Scotty" is the starship captain's signature call to an engineer and means that he needs to be transferred to the ship. To see this Easter egg with your own eyes in the YouTybe search engine, enter the following “ Beam Me Up Scotty” without quotes and enjoy.

4) Surprise in a telephone booth.
It's hard to find, but it's not necessary because there is a link. I remember when I was little I watched the Doctor Who series on TV, I was madly in love with him even more than the drug addicted Pokimons. Google simply could not pass by and prepared a surprise for us in London. If you walk on Google maps and go to the right phone booth, you can find yourself in the Tardis - a time machine and Doctor Who spaceship.

5) Pony.
Everyone likes ponies and a little girl, and even a brutal biker. Google figured it out. Now Hangouts has ponies. True, they live only in the desktop version. It remains to be hoped that ponies will come to us on smartphones. To see cute ponies, you need to type the following in the message box " /ponystream" without quotes and scream for joy.
