MS is using petfinder.com or whatever it is, as their source to know what is a "cat" and a "dog" So all you have to do is trick petfinder.com into giving you all the "cat" and "dog" pictures, and store those (or their MD5). You then can get the MS image, look it up in your db, and you've cracked their system. This does not seem like it would be terribly difficult, even with the number of cats/dogs on the site. > have the answer?
