At the opening of Improbable Outcomes, every visitor received a postcard showing a close-up of one painting, and searched the gallery for its match. Try it here: open any painting to look closely, zoom in, and choose. Each card shows a detail from one of eleven paintings in the series.
Your answers stay on this device. Scoring: 100 points for a first-try find, 60 for the second try, 30 for the third, 10 after that.
