    What is reverse image search .... or, rather, how do you do it?

    Go to, say, tineye.com and upload an image. Then it will tell you where
    that image appears on the Web - in theory.

    I just tried it for the first time. I gave it a PNG I'd created, a LaTeX-processed representation of the expression 8 pi r³ / 3 (volume of
    two spheres, i.e. balls). It came back with just one result - a
    similarly LaTeX-processed rep, except that this one was:

    E = 2/3 pi r³ rho (R nu₁ / D)²

    which doesn't look anything like balls.

    Then I tried a slightly fairer test: a stock image of a bowl of
    cherries. It came up with several copies of the same image, some
    watermarked (in different ways) and some not, which I found impressive.
    It also showed me a bunch of similar images - different bowls of
    different cherries - which I found even more impressive because it
    showed a basic "understanding" of what the picture represented, rather
    than a simple pixel-based comparison.

    As for Q1, I doubt there will be an answer unless I am
    missing a bit hint.

    "TIEMME" is clearly viisble on the red knobs and googling "TIEMME
    floor heating" got me to

    http://www.tiemme.com/eng/3049i_prodotti-det_34046.php

    So, we find that it is an Italian company, part of the
    Gnutti Cirillo group and makes plumbing equipment.

    However, the fourth cold pipe from the right has
    "ONorm EN I" printed on it with an umlaut over the
    first 'O'. So, t the pipes come from a Germanic
    nation. But, even that does not tell us where the house
    is located.

    Thank you... so it seems someone is buying a house
    in Northern(?) Europe.


    i thnk the OP (in Reddit) said that he found 2 sets like this.-- it must be a pretty big house. -- like 4 bedrooms?


    Do i assume correctly that the unconnected Cold and Hot pipes are the "IN" pipes and the others are "OUT" ones? HH
