I guessed, and was pleasantly surprised recently when I searched "flip a coin". Had to decide where to go to dinner and flipping a virtual coin did just fine

So is there a big manifest of these functions in a file somewhere on Google's servers? I'm just wondering how this looks in code.

Interesting the dice roll forces a refresh to reroll and but the random number one doesn't. Try 100/100 min/max for the random number generator. Interesting what you can find poking around the JS. Or -99999999999/99999999999.

  Hmm, when did this appear? That's got to be pretty irritating if you run a solitaire site to earn a living from the ad revenue. (I have a friend who does this - not the World of Solitaire guy, although fair play to him because he has almost every variant known to humankind on there.)

    Like Windows subsuming all useful third party utilities into Windows itself? If Google really went all in on these sort of search based functions, it could provide an angle of attack for DOJ/EU.

      Well, yeah, that's sort of the line I'm thinking along. 90% it's engineers doing something they think is cool/kooky/funky without thinking about the consequences. As in, you know those top two sites have taken a hit on revenue because someone on a fat salary at Google wanted to do something cool with their 20% time, or some similar story. But there's always this 10% suspicion, which is perhaps amplified by the controversy around AMP - and maybe it's a little bit unfair - that they ultimately never want you to leave the Google site. That may be the case but, even if it's not, they do this stuff that they think is cool, but they do it without any sense of responsibility or empathy. That solitaire game is a fairly limited implementation - admittedly rather a nice one - and it lacks a lot of the variants, and other bells and whistles of the top solitaire sites. Nevertheless it's going to be up there for all time, stealing traffic from and reducing the revenue to those other sites, and it won't make a jot of difference either way to Google. I don't really think that's OK.

According to this [0] you can also try calculator color picker unit converter I didn't find anything about the other features mentioned here though. [0] https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/3284611 https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/3284611

It's interesting that of all these bits of functionality being posted... none of them share the same UI. Seems oddly in-consistent (seeing as its part of Search - their core product - and it wouldn't be an insanely complex task to rectify). Although I know its much easier for me to say that as a non-Googler than it may actually be :p
