Same here.
But it was a bit of a 'rigged' test in the sense that there were only (
well, almost ) inanimated objects. If they'd have faces or even just,
say, a photo of a cat you'd find it much easier.

It was also rigged in the sense that the photographs were either unnaturally
lit or PhotoShopped to look like CG.

Like others I agree this test isn't all too impressive. They were all
inanimate objects (except the face which was DREADFULLY obvious). If
they wern't CG they were unnaturally lit or altered to look CG.

That is one amazing bit of CG.

Spoilers



















I thought they were the easiest of the real ones. I didn't think someone
would pick up on the wrinkles in the metal so well.
The nose was the easiest fake one. There were no pores in the skin or
anything. Completely amateur.
The hardest was the wine glass.
I got 7/10 and then 4/4 for the bonus round.
