Calculator

In late 2011, Google added a graphical calculator to search results, using natural language processing to determine that search results might be mathematical in nature. Woven into this feature are several, not entirely academic, results which might be considered Easter eggs.

A Google web search for:

• "a baker's dozen( see it )" shows the additional result "1 baker's dozen = 13".
• "once in a blue moon( see it )" will give the additional result of "once in a blue moon = 1.16699016 × 10⁻⁸ hertz".

It is believed to be the first Google Easter egg, predating the calculator in which it is now revealed.
• "the number of horns on a unicorn( see it )" shows the number "1" on the calculator.
• "what is the loneliest number( see it )" shows the number "1" in the calculator.
• The result of multiple Easter eggs may be calculated; for example: "negative of the number of horns on a unicorn minus the answer to life the universe and everything( see it )" will return "-43".
• Ahead of Pi Day 2021, Google added an Easter egg game to the calculator tool which tested players' knowledge and memory of Pi.

Directions

• In early test versions of Google Maps, searching for a route between locations separated by expanses of water (for example, Paris and New York City) provided road directions to the coast of the embarkation country (in this case, the west coast of France) before suggesting "Swim the Atlantic Ocean (3,500 miles)" or another ocean for a different distance.
• While Google Maps' walking directions were in beta, requesting them from the start point of "The Shire" or "Rivendell" to the destination of "Mordor", the directions returned the warning: "Use caution – One does not simply walk into Mordor."
• When navigating from Snowdon to the Brecon Beacons( see it ), one could choose to travel by dragon, which took 21 minutes.
• When navigating from Urquhart Castle to Fort Augustus( see it ), one could choose to travel by the Loch Ness Monster, which took 25 minutes.

Fictional places

( see it )

Video games

  • A similar feature was brought back for April Fools' Day 2017, allowing users to play a version of Ms. Pac-Man upon clicking the icon on the Google Maps webpage or mobile app.
• On Mario Day (March 10) 2018, Google and Nintendo had partnered up to bring Mario into Google Maps mobile app worldwide for a week. A yellow icon with a question mark would show up at the bottom of the directions page, next to the start navigation button. Tapping on the icon would allow one to have Mario and his kart as the navigation arrow. Tapping the icon 100 times would activate a 1-UP sound like in Nintendo's games.

Extraterrestrial

• With the release of Google Earth 5, the Mars feature allowed users to speak to a primitive ELIZA clone on the planet, by searching for "Meliza".
• On July 20, 2005, the 36th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon, Google debuted a version of Google Maps that included a small segment of the surface of the Moon. It is based entirely on NASA images and includes only a very limited region. Panning causes the map to tile. Zooming to the closest level used to show that the Moon was made of cheese. The map also gives the locations of all Moon landings, and the Google Moon FAQ humorously mentions a connection to the Google Copernicus hoax, which Google claimed to be developing. Supposedly, by 2069, Google Local will support all lunar businesses and addresses.

Google subpages

The web page is a reference to the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol.
